As the forum's resident Old Man, allow me to say: Don't worry about it.
These phases come and go in your lifetime, it's just part of how the human mind operates. Basically it's your brain saying "you know what, we've been doing the same stuff for years and I'm just not getting the same high off of it any more". In most cases you'll get over it in time and be back on the wagon eventually. Your brain just needs a form of a break so it can refresh how it experiences these things again.
What you DON'T want to do is force yourself to continue playing games you're not feeling yourself interested in at the moment out of fear you're going to lose the ability to do so. Doing that will just make your mind resent it more and you'll have a harder time recouping from it. What you need to do is go with the flow, with what your brain is telling you, whether it be changing up the kind of games you're playing or cutting yourself off from games for a while altogether. Just do what feels good, and don't force yourself to do things you're not really feeling into at the moment. That road leads to ennui.
