I've never played and have no intention of playing MtG.
I prefer Silmarillion to LotR.
I watched 'The Force Awakens', thought it was very meh, and haven't bothered with the other two sequel films.
I've no interest in reading Dune. I think Denis Villanueve is a great filmmaker though (loved 'Arrival', 'BR2049', 'Sicario', & 'Prisoners').
I thought I wanted to try D&D 5.5E with other people. Enough to acquire a couple of the 2024 books and make a character, which was entertaining in and of itself.
Now, months later, I don't believe that is what I wanted - I've had at least two different opportunities to play D&D in two different online-based groups, I even joined a Discord for one of those offers, and yet I've not availed myself of either opportunity.
Perhaps I simply do not really want to play D&D anymore, at least not the TTRPG version. I liked BG3 well enough (although I think I burned out a bit, having stalled in Act III and finding it difficult to push through to the end).
I don't really feel upset, or angry, or sad, or anything else about my (self-imposed) inability to play D&D, nor am I angry/upset/sad about how the D&D rules are different, nor about how the D&D marketing is different in 2025.
Maybe if my old 3.5E group - comfortably familiar to me - abandoned their PF2 game to take up 5.5, I'd try it then. I'm not sure. If I really wanted the social interaction, it seems to me that I'd join them regardless of what system they were using.
