The games have lost their excitement.

It all comes down to what you enjoy. You might want to look at some older games you might have overlooked, like classic titles. New releases don’t justify the cost, especially if they’re later updated with less content and cheaper prices. I don’t rush things because if they stopped making games now, I’d still have access to many of them. Online gaming is another option—it lets you spend time there. I enjoy games like WoW, RPGs, and FPS titles; they keep me engaged without ever getting bored.
Really consider other interests or activities. It seems like you were really focused on one thing too much and lost your enthusiasm. I play less now, but when I do, I really enjoy it. Having too much of something can be a problem. It’s not like games will solve everything, since negativity seems to affect the whole gaming idea. Try new hobbies that don’t require a lot of PC or TV use.
No, I never put anything on my phone there. I mostly watch videos on YouTube when sitting at the toilet, and I use Facebook mainly for marketplace stuff. I don’t follow Instagram or any other social media. I just know how quickly things can become addictive.
It's probably true and definitely this whenever I don’t have fun playing a game—I either take a break or switch to something completely different. Most "AAA" titles are actually terrible these days, mostly just repetitive walking sims (sometimes you can drive a car or ride a horse... yeah, that’s wild).
basically... except i don't really enjoy indie titles or early access releases, though there are some exceptions. I mostly play what I'd describe as "AA" games—priced similarly to "AAA" ones (or a bit cheaper), with fewer DLCs or season passes. These games are often developed with more attention to detail, sometimes even better graphics since their budgets aren't spent on marketing. It's not always a priority, but one game that stands out was VA-11 HALL-A; it wasn't my usual genre preference, but the concept was engaging and the story was solid with good pacing.
