Somewhat true but not entirely. The title that is. I can’t associate with the post. I sometimes get excited depending on the game/dev. Fromsoft and Valve are 2 good examples. They announce a game, I’m excited. Obviously there’s the odd game here and there. Like Judas for example. “From the creator of Bioshock”, I doubt anything short of a λ appearing on screen can get me more excited than that.
But otherwise? Not really. I’m stacked on games for life already. It’s like hearing a new Pizza has been made. Cool but there’s like 100000 others I haven’t tried yet. Hard to be excited for that. I think there’s 3 reasons people lose that good feeling you get when playing video games:
No variety. Because the pizza analogy only made sense in that context. In reality you’d get sick of pizza. Might wanna try different games not just battlefield, cod or assassins creed.
Doing nothing else. A job doesn’t count, adulting doesn’t count, sleeping doesn’t count. Do something different. Pick up more hobbies or try to do something different on the PC. I can exemplify how this is a reason because I’ve been there. You ever left the house to go to a party or meet with people and after just a short while there you start thinking of playing some game? Yeah, do that more often but also stick to it however long it takes. You might not even game that day but the next you’ll feel a lot more in the mood for it or you might give it up all together in light of finding something you enjoy more, nothing wrong with that.
Adults are just tall children. It’s easy to trick us, jiggle some keys before us and we behave like it’s magic. That’s how I see game trailers at least. Almost never reflective of the actual game. You look at it and you imagine it all wrong thinking it’s the greatest thing possible and picturing doing shit in the game that’s just not doable. Then the game comes out and it’s just a game. Nothing you imagined it being and now you feel bored again without realizing, that memory how the trailer looked in your head long gone.
My advice is: just don’t think about it. Variety, just do something. Doesn’t matter what just do it and if you don’t enjoy doing it you’ll brain will come up with something you will enjoy in the meanwhile. Bonus points if you can do something useful. That would be a neat story.

“Well I was bored of gaming and wanted to get back into the mood.”
