I'm curious if this is a common thing. For me there are many such games. I hardly play games at all anymore, and when I do it's mostly singleplayer indie titles. Yet for some reason I can't stop myself from engaging with a lot of games I used to play.

CS:GO for example. I haven't played it for years and have no real intention of coming back, yet I still find myself watching youtube videos, following the patch notes and engaging in online discussions. And it's far from the only example for me.

Any weirdos out there that do the same?

Most FromSoftware games.

Absolutely love the lore and writing, love the environments and character designs and atmosphere. It's a shame that I mostly find the games to be a boring slog to actually play.

So I watch Let's Players and while they do the fighting, I can take the time to really enjoy how well-polished everything is and throw open the wiki and read through item flavor text or other bits of info.

I can somewhat relate to this, for me it's with Hollow Knight. While I wouldn't say I find it boring, I've just played through it all and have little interest in replaying. Yet the world and story is so interesting to me that I still love to watch others play and talk about it.
