    My suggestion? Come back to video games a year from now or even just 6 months. Works like a charm.

    Otherwise, you don’t always have to play 'em. I think people feel like they have to due to it being in the “vogue” or just to “keep up” with what others are into. Don’t. Just do other things.

    Other than that? Maybe find a way to play a video game and do another thing while the game is still on. That generally works for me. The loading time can sometimes be annoying when starting up a game, but dealing with that issue helped.

      Breaks work well, even a couple of months make a big difference. I tend to reach the point where I look at my library for 20 minutes without booting anything, then take a break until I feel the itch to play something and it gets me hooked again.
