If it makes you feel any better getting older means you learn to see these things coming from a mile away. The best games are (generally) the ones you learn about from word of mouth
And when you're older you have no time to game. So, you're a few years behind. By the time they get to you, they're either hashed out and good or have fallen out of popularity.
Or you could be like me and still play games from the 90s.
