I was obsessed with pinball (the predecessor to video games) for a while. It cost a dime for a game, a quarter for three. I had no money, so it was a big deal to get to play a game. The pinball machine is very set up to give "rewards" for points scored, such as giving out free games.
One time in the dorm, the coin op broke, and the machine allowed unlimited games for free. I played, and played, and played, and then something broke in me. I totally lost interest in pinball, it bored me silly, and in 40 years that interest never came back.
One of my first jobs was testing video games. That ground to dust any interest I had in that. It revived briefly when Doom came out, but that didn't last long.

I suppose I've dodged a bullet with that.
