Making peace with liking very few games? (piefed.social)

I love my favorite games and have been playing them for years, but I disliked about 99% of the games I played.

I don't think I have FoMO or anything; I just find it weird because my taste in music, film, or art/media in general is usually fairly broad. I guess I just wonder why my taste in games is aggressively limited.

It's not for the lack of trying new games; I've tried more or less anything I could find, sometimes because it's popular, other times because it looked interesting, but nothing really hits the mark like my favorite games.

I just don't like what most developers create, I guess?

I'm hoping, by posting this, maybe I can find others who are having a similar experience, and we can share thoughts.

The thing is, there's just so much stuff on Steam that even if you only care about the crème de la crème (hell, even if you only care about a specific genre), you'll still find yourself with a wishlist longer than you'll possibly have the time to play. I often go "ZOMG! STEAM SALE!!!" so in my case it's slowly becoming a backlog but I do intend to play everything I buy.
