Be it plain burnout or just other life obligations. It happens. From the message, it seems that player still enjoys social aspect of hanging out, just not playing game. Personally, i would cut one session per month and instead of playing, just invite whole group and hang out. Now, if you are good friends (and 6 years is enough to develop solid friendship), i would invite said player to drink/coffee and ask him directly what is it about game that doesn't make it fun any more. Maybe it's system, maybe it's setting, maybe it's something else entirely. Not pushing, but just genuine reasoning behind decision. Then tell him that he is always welcome back if he chooses and that we can still hang out without gaming. Last year, i had to call it quits on another group. I just couldn't find time and commit to gaming regularly more than once a month (they play weekdays after work every week). Recently, i saw message from DM of that group that he is taking break from gaming due to life circumstances.</blockquote>
