There are games aimed at much more casual gamers. But even then I think there are still things to learn which might get in the way of your enjoyment. Possibly not worth the effort when there are so many other things that you do enjoy out there :-)

I'd ignore it altogether, were it not that games are being presented culturally as a universal form of entertainment. Makes me feel like a freak for not being interested. It's like sports: I have no interest and would be content to let it be except that it's expected that everyone is interested. I find especially irritating the headlines for whatever international match that's been going on recently. You'd think the U.S. was about to declare war on the Netherlands. What? What'd I miss? Turns out it was just some stupid game.
