I've also suffered from the dreaded Modern Gaming Fatigue from time to time, so that is the opportune moment to switch to my Atari 2600 and play some quick games that I loved as a kid. I can't say that I loathe/hate online gaming, as DC Universe Online is one of my favorite games to play when I'm in the mood to be a superhero, and games like Star Wars Squadrons also appeals to the Star Wars "kid" in me. I'm also finding that I haven't bought a physical game in a long time, but have bought digital games more often that I realized. The stores around me have very little selections for games, so I usually end up buying myself a gift card, loading it into my Microsoft account, then browsing the store to see if anything tickles my fancy. There are a few games coming up I'm interested in, but really, not too many pique my interest as of late. So, once again, I plug in Space Invaders and have more fun playing that than I do "modern" games. I'm really glad that I still have a working 2600 to fall back on when the modern gaming fatigue sets in, which seems to happen more often than not lately.
I AM guilty of buying "extras" in games like DCUO, so I can get some powers that you can't get "free", but I don't go nuts with that type of stuff. I do prefer, overall, my games to be complete without micro transactions.
