My father was gaming back before people called them "video games" and he didn't stop until about 2001. He played and owned more games than many people on this board. There is such a thingn as a lapsed gamer, or a gamer who just ceases to enjoy the hobby. Coming back and playing the games isn't some quality that's inherent to you, it's about whether or not games appeal to you. Without appealing games, no one would play.

I think it's easy to use that as an excuse though...no appealing games? For those of us that have stuck around with gaming, it seems like gaming gets better every year. It's impossible that there are no appealing games, just that you aren't aware of any appealing games.

My younger brother still livs with my father and games constantly. It's not a problem of him not being aware of games - jsut that the games we own on the 360, the Wii, the Xbox, the PS2, and the Gamecube didn't appeal to him. Awareness is not the problem, nor the most convenient explanation.
