Don't do something you aren't enjoying. Take a break. It's a hobby, not a job. Games will always be there.

Take a break. Go do other things you enjoy.

I stopped playing for about 5 years and then started up again and really enjoyed gaming again. Plus I was able to snag a cheap PS4 and a bunch of super cool games for next to nothing :)

I've been a gamer since childhood too. Now at 34 I've found that the older I got the more things I needed to add to my list of things to do. In my teens I could just game every free moment and it was fine. I now need to rotate what I'm doing to entertain myself. I'll pick up a game and play it through, then move onto something else like a new TV series or a new book series. It's about balance, and as I got older I had to balance more things to care about any of them individually. Just throwing out my two cents.

Burnout happens. I've been sort of burnt out on games for a couple of years now, after some anticipated releases disappointed, and I found myself paralyzed by choice. But there have been a couple of games I haven't played in old reliable series that have somewhat rekindled the love in me. It'll never be like it was whenI was a kid or teen again, but I can still find things to love.

My gaming is seasonal. Winter it's a couple of hours a day, summer, I might not touch it for weeks. Just stick with what makes you happy

Replying to AhDamm (#353,486)

It seems modern games require more and more time, and, as my life in the real world progresses, I have less and less. Last year, I was unemployed, so I had plenty of time to commit to games. Now I have a full time job, and I'm going to graduate school in January, so that will take even more time, and I don't know how much time I'll have when I get a professional job either.

Ok. So take a break. You don’t enjoy something it seems pretty simple. Maybe you get back to gaming later, maybe you don’t. People change. Hobbies change. Industries change. Life goes on. Nothing to be sad about. It doesn’t mean something is wrong.

Take a break until you feel like coming back, or maybe there’s a big new release you wanna play.
