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?

I keep trying to replay Minecraft and it just can't hold my attention for long. I still follow the updates to it closely however. Maybe I should intentionally distance myself from it for a while instead, make it feel fresh again. Same thing applies to Terraria as well.

Same here, I've been taking a hard break from it though. I've also played so much modded that the base game isn't that enjoyable unless on a big smp where I can flex my combat and redstone skills, even then I find a modded server with friends more fun.

Also if you haven't played modded, check it out. Id recommend getting the Forge launcher (although there has been some drama with Forge recently, might wait until that clears up) and look through some modpacks. I especially recommend Create: Above and Beyond

Yeah, for me personally, like once a year, I get the urge to start a new map and build a tiny village and then I'm good for a while. I usually play in creative mode, too, so I can get anything done in that time...
