Thing is, I can also NOT play games and spend my money on other hobbies.

    A person of culture, I see.

    I have the time to play games. I own many games. Yet I am not playing them. Why? I used to love games. Why can I not get sucked in anymore?

    i'v heard some people say this sort of thing is likely that your subconscious or whatever just isnt being "fulfilled" by that level of activity, that you got to try something a little "higher" like creating your own game/telling your own story

    Yeah I'm a very patient gamer, I'm perfectly happy to just play games on my Steam Deck years after they come out. If there's something I want, I'll usually just wishlist it and let it sit there until it goes down to a price that seems reasonable. Much better to get it for $15-20 with all the DLC and bug fixes than paying $80+ for an unfinished buggy mess IMO.

    Yeah, especially since I know I likely wouldn't play it much.
    On the other hand, if it was free (also as in money) and open-source, and I liked it, I could donate. Although I don't have much money, so probably just smaller amounts, better than the 0 I do right now by not gaming instead.
    For example, I absolutely wouldn't pay $9.60 for Binary Eye (barcode/2D code scanner app) if it cost that much, but as a donation that was fine.

    Well, I could make an exception for games on physical media. I like it, and it has resale value.
