I have the same problem. I only have an hour or two most days, if it happens at all. So I end up playing games that work well in short spurts and time gaps between sessions.

The only problem of gaming is my time, i just don’t have enough of it. There’s like a tons of game i haven’t play and the free game claimed from epic is untouched, but here i am, replaying Subnautica for the 4th time, slowly making progress.

So you do have the time but decide to just not play different games.

It’s like with watching TV Series. Why am I going through Firefly again instead of trying something new? Or reading The Expanse again?

I did have time but not enough of it.

I’ve got so little time and so many things I want to do and need to do, I’ve just given up gaming all together.

Yeah, I get that, hence “spoiled for choice”. It’s not a bad situation to be in though, play what you enjoy!

My gaming time has drastically reduced since our first kid was born. I still manage to get an hour or two in the evening (if we don’t watch a movie/series). On the other hand, I noticed I start getting bored of lengthy games and want to switch to something else around the 20 hours mark.
What helped me, is finding and playing well-rated singleplayer games that can be completed in only a few seatings, typically <10 hours. I use howlongtobeat.com.
But I also come back to endless games (Escape From Tarkov or League Of Legends) when I have friends to play with. You gotta find the balance that fits your schedule and tastes, without turning gaming into a chore.
