Similarly, I mostly stopped playing video games few a few years after getting out of the habit in university. When I tried playing a new game, it just didn't grab my attention and I didn't feel like continuing playing. In the last couple of years, I have had a few games finally make me feel the enjoyment that I remembered feeling when I was younger. And examining my own feelings when playing, what strikes me is that the first 5 to 10 hours of a game with some depth can be quite un-enjoyable, and they become dramatically more engaging once I've gotten over that hump. I think that was the case when I was younger as well, but when I had more free time on my hands it didn't feel like as much of a waste of time.
