Has game buying lost it's magic?

Just something that crossed my mind.

Even as short as a year ago... I would have a super tough week, be kind of depressed just hanging out on a Saturday night, and I'd say "fuck it" and go to the store and buy a game that I've had my eye on. Yeah, I paid full retail price, but it felt like an event. Even just walking into the store and holding my new game in my hands felt nice, and nostalgic. Like the old days when I had to save up and wait months to get a new game.

Now I just buy anything that's less than $5 and I'm even remotely interested in (which is a lot of games). I'm entering public giveaways, private giveaways, and winning from time to time. I'm buying decent bundles here and there, like 5 games for $1. Games are literally pouring in. I almost feel like I'm just doing it out of habit. In the end I probably haven't spent more than I would in a normal year, but I'm getting easily 10x the amount of games. It's nuts.

A part of me wants to cut it out, but it's just too damn easy to get cheap games. It's almost stupid not to.

Anyone else feel like game buying has lost it's magic a little bit?
