be absorbed in

In English, "fallen into/fell into" is more often used when someone finds something by chance, or because it is easy: "Why do you work at the supermarket?" "I needed money while I was in school, I sort of just fell into it."

"Addicted" is used most often, along with drug references for certain games known for their addictive qualities. EverQuest is often referred to as EverCrack.

AnonymousSomeone has fallen
into something and cannot get out of the habit.

'Sucked into' suggests a circumstance a little more relevant to the particular notion of not being able to escape the habit. 'Absorbed in', or 'be into', or 'be very interested in' do not carry such connotations.
