what should i do , i just dont enjoy games anymore at all , everything has been disappointing lately
over the course of this year i have lost interest in games more and more , there were so many games that were completely disappointing , wether its final fantasy 15 , or zelda breath of the wild , cant think of a single game this year that wasnt a waste of money , and i dont really enjoy playing games in general anymore

and since i recently beat zelda botw , i dont even want to play games anymore , because its so trash , i dont even want to play games anymore either

this has been getting worse over the last few months , as seen by my steam playtime, i barely play anything anymore , im really thinking of just selling my pc at this point , but im not sure if i should really do it or not , i wanted to wait a few weeks or months and see if it gets better again , but it didnt , it got even worse , i actively hate playing games now

i really dont know if i should sell everything like the pc , keyboard , monitors etc or not , i dont think i will miss them , to be honest , as i also dont really enjoy watching anime either

i really dont think my interest in games will change after this many months of not enjoying them
what would you say ?

Take a bit of a gaming break and only play games that interest your curiosity on them. I can never hate gaming. But yeah taking a break once in a while shouldnt hurt you. :)

Our moods change maybe time to look into a different intertainment.
I could never get tired of my games.
I love survival games and multiplayer games.
Play with friends brings so much fun to a lonely game you verses the computer.
New games / enhanced games out now have VR as well.

Like everyone else already said: take a break. I did that multiple times already from 3 - 6 months and it was great. You need to remember that you're not comitted to playing games. I don't think selling your pc would get you anywhere though. Keep in mind that it could be possible for you to be in the mood to play games in the future even though you might think you won't right now. Then you would have to get everything back again.

Move on. Sell your gaming related items and turn a new leaf. A new chapter, a new you.
I'm considering joining you. I really hate how games are shaping up, I can never find anything creative or interesting (besides some pretentious indie ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) and I don't like what multiplayer games have become.

The recent microtransaction craze has driven me away to singleplayer games. And even now, considering that singleplayer games are kind of dwindling (again, the only ones I can find are either pretentious indie games that think they're deep or just flat out boring to me.) so I might just hop on it with you.

could try retro games, they are more complete products.

Or, ya know, you could try other hobbies besides gaming, I find screwing around with code and forcing electronics to do things they were not ment to do to be pretty fun!

Circuit bending is also pretty awesome, just don't try it on high voltage electronics, you will probably get electrocuted.

should i uninstall all games and only use steam for social features for that itme , or keep them installed but delete shortcuts and not make steam auto start , or should i uninstall everything including the client and mobile authentificator ?

i really think i need to first get my psychological problems (transgender and depression ) fixed , before i could enjoy games again , but i also dont know if that will work out , since it tried this and last year trying to find psychologists and therapists , with 0 success , and now im already so depressed i sleep most of the day, cant sleep until 4-6 in the morning ( even if i wake up early in the morning , i just cant sleep at night )

the main problem is that i used games as a thing to distract myself from problems for a while , and as the problems got worse , i started also hating the thing i used as a way to distract myself from the problems

worst case i just sell everything since i wont need it when im just laying in bed all day doing nothing

It's Burn out. Drop video games for a few months. Wait until a solid release. If you can't control that then I'd say you have some minor problems to look at. Addiction is real and always hard to break. You gotta get on something healthy. Try mountain biking or trail hiking.
