I don't think it's the internet so much as the knowledge available (due to the intenet) beforehand that makes playing a new game less exciting. But I think that's a just one part of it. It's likely that age and experience are large factors. Imagine a person seeing a movie for the first time ever. What excitement and wonder that would stir. But a thousand movies later, it's hard to impress that same person. As we play more games, cliches become more apparent, standards climb ever higher, genres grow more familiar. We always compare our present expereince to the past, and as we accumulate experiences, we find ourselves in familiar territory more often.
