Absolutely. My video gaming is always cyclical like this.
I grew up playing lots of games, back in the days of the N64 and original Xbox and all that shit. I lost interest in video games altogether through my first two years of college. Then I like, "rediscovered" gaming my junior year and started playing again for a while. It's been on and off since then. Truth be told, I've never really returned to being a "hardcore" (I hate this term) gamer. This is just natural progression, though, as a 27-year old I don't have the free time or lack of commitments that I had when I was a teenager. But even today I'll go through phases where I want to buy every game under the sun. I usually resist it, because I know I'll never play them all or even close. And then I go through phases where I'm like, "Fuck it, I'm done with video games, I have too much other more important stuff I want to focus on [career, fitness, women, etc]."
Now days, I usually only buy a couple games a year, usually games that I absolutely have to have (new installments in my favorite franchises, or games that are just so absurdly acclaimed that I have to try them, ala Witcher 3). I'm satisfied with that, to be honest. It's all I have time for, frankly, so I find myself thinking long and hard before I buy a new game. And going back to your statement that you have no desire to play, I find that there are only a few games these days that I truly have the desire to sit down and play. So it works out in the end.
I mean, just look at this year. 2017. What games am I planning on buying as of right now? Uh, Mass Effect Andromeda, probably Zelda (though I really don't want to buy a Switch just for that game, no matter how good it is) and maybe the new Shadow of War LOTR game that just got announced. Can't think of much else this year that I fancy.
Still call myself a gamer, it's a hobby I'll always have, probably. But sometimes there are other things in life that you you wish to attend to more, or you just aren't feeling gaming at the moment. I'd like to have a family someday, and I imagine that is when my gaming will be even further constricted. But when a new Blizzard game, or Mass Effect installment, or Zelda, or whatever comes out, I feel like I'll be there. No matter what.
