Does abstaining from games for a certain period of time works in order to enjoy them again?

I've seen this as the most "popular" solution to counter gaming burnout.

Does It work or Is It Just cope?
Have you tried It?
 
It can help a little bit but it's not some magic solution. I feel like abstaining from short-form content if you consume a lot of that might be a better way of making it more enjoyable since it might help with your attention span.
 
I cannot bring myself to pay same games again, I was tempted to play valheim again after all the updates but just can't be bothered
