do you find it difficult to get into games? I’ve got Epic Games and Steam Games libraries chock-full of classic top-tier games along with many other newer games like Stray or 2077, and a bunch of indie titles. I just can’t be bothered to download and install them, much less try to get into the characters and storylines. Used to be I couldn’t wait to see what happened in the story, what new items you could collect, what new worlds the developers had created. Not anymore. I return to playing the same franchise for a quick FPS match or three and then I’m done.

I spent countless hours playing games and getting excited as hell with new launches or even just getting on. Nowadays I play maybe 1 or 2 games a year and If I actually finish them it's very rare. I could blame a busy life but honestly there's just no spark and I could speculate for hours why but truthfully I don't know why.

Yea I wouldn’t bother with games post 2010. Just have a solid RvR open mmo from before 2010.

I haven't gamed for a "long" time, as I got into it when I got my 1st laptop like 5 years ago... And I can't say that I feel the burnout yet, especially with great games like Baldur's gate 3 being released this year

People grow out of stuff. Maybe try making games. Find a different type like ttrpg.
