Making peace with liking very few games? (piefed.social)

I love my favorite games and have been playing them for years, but I disliked about 99% of the games I played.

I don't think I have FoMO or anything; I just find it weird because my taste in music, film, or art/media in general is usually fairly broad. I guess I just wonder why my taste in games is aggressively limited.

It's not for the lack of trying new games; I've tried more or less anything I could find, sometimes because it's popular, other times because it looked interesting, but nothing really hits the mark like my favorite games.

I just don't like what most developers create, I guess?

I'm hoping, by posting this, maybe I can find others who are having a similar experience, and we can share thoughts.

Not weird for me. I don't play anymore at all. Don't even have a system to do so. But, I watch YouTube videos about games and game facts or speed running every night before bed. I know more about games now than when I actually played them. I just don't have time for them anymore but that doesn't mean they don't interest me. I lost my passion for playing games years ago but not the idea of it. I don't know or care about the hype but I just find it terribly interesting via others hype or interest in these games. If that makes sense.
