I went through exactly this with World of Warcraft, and later StarCraft. I wanted to go pro playing SC but I realized it wasn't sustainable or as fulfilling as I had hoped. I ended up just giving them up, once I realized it wasn't really building towards anything in my life. It felt like a big loss, but looking back, I wish I hadn't played so damn much in the first place.

I wrote more about it here. https://danschnau.com/world-of-warcraft/
