Stepping Back From Videogames

I've entered a mode that I can't explain.  I used to enjoy games more than this.  Now; they all feel like a series of chores to distract from actual chores.  The fun seems to have seeped out of them, slowly but surely.  The entertainment value is there, but its pull isn't so great.

Then I wonder, why should I do this chore with no tangible benefits compared to that other chore?

This year I've "invested" far fewer hours playing video-games than any previous year.  And I don't miss them at all - it's as though I've been addicted to games, went to rehab, and wondered why I play them in the first place...
