My PC never broke, but for the first ~2 years of my undergrad (I'm about to start my final year) I didn't have time to play games at all because I completely overloaded myself with work.

It might be some combination of burnout and depression, but I haven't had much of that addictive urge either, since. When I have a free evening on a weekend I might put a few hours into a story-based single player game - finishing it in a month or two, compared to ~1 week at the peak of my gaming habits in high school.

It's interesting to hear to me that there's other people with similar experiences :)

Yeah, I went through this too. Thought I would play a ton in college just like high school. It ended up being the opposite, I never played a game while I was at school, and after that I just didn't find it nearly as addicting, I don't know why.

I'll go on binges sometimes, but nothing consistent, and my steam history usually has 0 hours nowadays.
