You’ve lost your spark when playing games, often conjuring ideas from nothing—a form of art. When motivation fades, it’s usually due to outside pressures or internal struggles that unsettle your mind. Stepping away for a while can help revive your creativity. If not, unresolved issues in your life may be the root cause you need to confront first.
I faced this problem about a year ago. I kept working and buying games, but never really enjoyed them. Things got so bad that I stopped turning on my PS4 and let it gather dust. It seemed I’d lost interest in the same FPS style games I used to like, and stopped playing altogether. Give it some time, try different kinds—puzzles, RPGs, etc.—maybe you’ve grown tired of that genre.
I understand your point. It seems I often spend a lot of time on YouTube and reading about various topics, not just about PCs. I believe the key will be adapting when games become too tough on your current setup. Instead of forcing yourself to revisit old games while saving for newer ones, it’s better to enjoy the backlog while you wait. Mods also help me stay engaged with older titles like Skyrim, giving them a fresh feel through DCO and magic overhauls.
You find it hard to focus because you're deeply absorbed in real life, making it tough to escape due to the weight of everyday priorities. This can make enjoying books feel impossible. Movies seem uncertain as well. Instead, you often put off YouTube and seek other ways to regain that feeling of escape. My experience varies, but at 18, things tend to shift quickly.
Same issue still here. Taking a pause makes a difference. *BluRay MOVIES on my FHD TV* But even then, I haven't played many games lately. Around 300 Steam titles, plus a 100-disc version of non-steam games, and about 20 Origin items and 6 UPlay stuff. I don’t know where these come from—probably Blizzard: LOL. Starcraft, WoW, Hearthstone, and some others. Some are pirate games. I stopped doing this, though. Now I’m collecting games, which is my hobby.
You're looking for a game you enjoy. I experienced the same issue and now prefer playing only titles I'm certain will interest me.
I experienced the same situation around six years ago, which led me to dive into software development. It turns out it’s far more satisfying than playing video games. After two to three years of focused coding, I began revisiting gaming, but coding still offers a deeper sense of satisfaction than any game could provide—like acing a match in CS:GO compared to writing and sharing a script on GitHub for others to enjoy.
