I think this is a problem that everyone encounters in this digital era - it's not just with games. It is less about passion or lack of passion and more about the thinking there might be something else, something better, you could be doing. Since buying games, books, movies, or music is so much easier these days you don't dedicate the time or energy or research first. Then, once you start to play/read/watch you are unsure if it is worth your time.

These days your time can be spent doing so many different things. You have access to a multitude of games, a multitude of movies, a multitude of online sites, etc. No more getting out of bed, getting dressed, and going to blockbuster if you aren't satisfied. You just click a button and entertain yourself with something else. That uncertainty is enough to make you unable to play or watch or listen in the same ways we used to.
