Would winning $100 million increase or decrease the amount of time you spend on gaming?

[Cid]

One gaming thing I would do of course

Is buying 4 Mario Kart GP DX arcades

That's one of my dreams anyway, you dont need a million for that
Just 20.000 euro or dollars and a lot of space
But playing the Mario Kart arcade with my friends in my own house
I can truely call that a dream of mine :-D

( Plus of course a professional pool table)

 

[Deleted member 2802]

Wasn't Kimdotcom a billionaire and a top ranked CoD player.

 

[Lirion]

Most likely decrease. I'd be traveling and seeing new stuff, no time to game then.

 

[Mevlock]

Probably decrease due to all the other stuff I would then have time for.

 

[KillerDark]

Increase for sure, I'd retire in a heartbeat. Definitely would do some traveling and stuff but with all that time I'd absolutely game more than now.

 

[v0rt3x]

Great question. It would definitely decrease for the first year or two. I would travel the world, buy a few houses. I'd eventually come back to gaming once I've seen the world and am content.

 

[Enterprise1701]

Increase without a doubt, I could quit my job, would have way more time to game.

 

[John Marston]

Definitely increase. I'd be living the life, make sure my family is set for life, engage in a few investments and other passive sources of income to make sure my money is sustainable.

 

[KOHIPEET]

Increase. Not only mine, but my friends' too. I would buy them out of their jobs so we could hold lan parties weekly.

 

[Vic Damone Jr.]

Increase, I wouldn't have to deal with all the working bullshit. I could spend my days helping people and enjoying life.

 

[Jessie]

I'd probably buy a lot more games, but my heavy backlog would mean that I would never want to play games.

I played games a lot more when I was in poverty.

 

[Mikey]

Decrease. Seeing the world and being active vs staying in a room sitting on your ass. It's not a hard choice.

 

[Imitation Of Life]

hmmm I want to say it wouldn't be affected.. but I would probably establish a studio of my own to MAKE games ... so I imagine a lot of my time would be tied up in that... so It may have an impact on how much I play. Maybe I'd buy a studio instead.

The Curt Schilling route eh?

 

[Datajoy]

Decrease at first as I would spend some time travelling. Then increase dramatically as a spend almost all my time chilling in my nice ass house.

 

[Mikelarry85]

Would be the same as I currently spend which is if the game excites me and no bs lootboxes or anti consumer tactics then i am more inclined to purchase

 

[Darkwing17]

Winning 100M would mean I will travel worldwide... and less time in front of a screen or in front of a table.

Which means less time gaming.

 

[methodiczero]

Yeah....... i think it would drop off entirely. The want and enjoyment would still be there...... but i would be traveling the world with no worries and doing things ive always wanted to do. Gaming isn't going anyplace, but i only have so many years to go to all the places I've ever dreamed of going before i cant do it anymore

 

[Militaratus]

Massively increase. Though initially it would decrease as I would move to Japan and get some nice Japanese women and have them dressed in French maid outfits so they can serve my every need.

And then it will be 14 hours a day, 7 days a week of gaming, until I move to Mars. Then, I dunno.

 

[Deleted member 25600]

It would certainly increase the time I spend playing games. I'd not have to work, and would have a lot more free time. I'd travel more, but still not often.

Though even then I don't think I would be able to go back to how much time I spent playing before my son was born.

 

[Listai]

It would decrease, I'd be too busy moving to another country and cutting my family out of my life.

 

[Deleted member 3758]

Spoiler

This is a message.

 

[Acorn]

Decrease

Party time 24/7/365

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Wouldn't make a difference mostly likely. Actually yeah it would decrease it in the short term because I'd be doing some stuff in life I always wanted to do and won't have a ton of time to game.

 

[toku]

it would improve my life a whole lot in such a degree that yes I would probably game less lmao

 

[Ludono]

Probably decrease, I'd much rather explore the world and do things while I'm young. That said, I would probably need some rest in between and build some badass gaming house for that ;D

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

MUCH less. I'd travel everywhere.

 

[LGHT_TRSN]

Decrease drastically, though there's still plenty of time to kill on flights around the world.

 

[Blackflag]

Decrease for sure. I only play games on weekdays when I get home from work and no one else is home and there is no time to go do anything. Would be travelling, adventuring full time.

 

[Gareth]

Even though I'd travel a lot more, with not working I expect I'd still have a lot of time to fill. Travel time would be a thing, going from place to place, I'd have a Switch or something for that. Plus, travelling all the time every day for the rest of your life would be immensely tiring (especially when going somewhere hot) and not very realistic I think, I'd still end up with plenty of times where I'd be at home, wanting quiet evenings in, or spending whole days just lazing about playing something fun.

 

[Indelible]

It would be about the same but I would buy every console that is way to expensive like the Turbo Duo and Neo Geo.

 

[zetsubou]

Increase because I wouldn't have to work anymore.

But if the catch was I had to give up gaming forever, I'd do it.

 

[sourbeef]

Probably increase at first, depending on if I quit working outright. There'd be a splurge in there somewhere to catch up on a bunch of series. But I'd like to think I'd be doing plenty of other frivolous stuff with that kinda money lol

 

[Cinemikel]

It would decrease due to me being too busy pushing to achieve my dream to film movies, including a Metroid Movie. That or work for Nintendo as their trailer cutter. I'd love to make some amazing trailers for Nintendo Directs and E3, stuff that would really get people excited

 

[dadjumper]

I'd blow it all on a Neo Geo and one game so I guess it would increase a little

 

[JoJoBae]

Increase. VASTLY Increase. I wouldn't have a job taking 9 hours of my day every day. I mean, sure, I'd travel; Still wanna get some more time in my hobby though.

 

[daniel77733]

Increase. Would be retired and travel to one or two places during the summer due to better weather and it being quiet/dead for new games getting released. Then, from September through May, all about gaming.

 

[kittens]

Definitely decrease. If I could fund all the pet projects in my head I'd only play games when I really needed to veg out.

Massively increase. Though initially it would decrease as I would move to Japan and get some nice Japanese women and have them dressed in French maid outfits so they can serve my every need.

Click to shrink...

this is honestly creepy and not funny

 

[SavoyPrime]

Maybe stay about the same. I would definitely quit my job, so I would have money and time to travel to all the places that I would like to visit.

 

[GamingEnthusiast]

Periods where it'd increase, periods where it decrease.

Would probably go traveling first with the money. Could theoretically take my Switch and my Macbook with me an play something but I don't like doing that when I'm in another country. Then there will be days when I'm bored in my house that I bought with the money and just play something.

Would definitely increase the amount of games I impuls-buy.

Click to shrink...

This is exactly what I would've said as well. I'll add some other points of what I would do with that kind of money:

1. I'd take my brother and best friends with me to go see E3 every single year.
2. I'd go visit Japan and try to visit some of my favourite studios as a fan and a potential 'investor' and meet with some of my personal favourite developers.
3. I'd buy the PS2 Silent Hill Collection (Region 2) and everything related to that franchise.

 

[Uncleslappy]

Nothin? You don't need a million dollars to do nothin. Take a look at my cousin, he's broke don't do shit.

 

[hersheyfan]

100 million dollars is a lot of money, especially if you live in a country with a lower cost of living. I'd be doing less gaming for a month or two setting up all the things that would save me for ever having to work again (perpetually rolling time deposits with periodic interest crediting, condominiums for rent in high demand areas, a nice fat bonds fund), build the gaming pad of my dreams, then resume playing like nothing ever happened (punctuated by monthly overseas trips to keep the wife happy).

Edit: With all the free time saved from not having to go to work, I'd probably exercise a whole lot more as well. Gotta keep healthy to extend the time I have to enjoy all that shit!

 

[KingLear]

Yeah once the money is taken care of (income properties, hedge fund, all that good stuff.) If probably do a lot of more gaming between work( I'd go crazy being at home all day) and social obligations. But now with 1000% more cocaine.

 

[Deleted member 7130]

Increase it all the way.

 

[Jiggy]

Decrease.

I'd use that money to travel the world.

 

[Apples_mmmmmmmm]

Decrease, at least for a period of time. I would very likely buy tools and a work area that would allow me to explore other hobbies more that I currently don't have a way to do much with. I'd most likely buy quite a few woodworking, and metalworking machines as well as materials and a very large work area. As opposed to my curent setup of a garage filled with boxes and old car's that keep me from even so much as frequently being able to use a table saw.

I'd also likely want to travel to a few countries I've always had an interest in, so that would decrease my gaming time (except during plane trips etc).

Lastly I'd probably be interested in going back to school for other interests of mine even though I wouldn't really care to get a degree in those fields. It'd be nice only going to school for interesting classes rather than being held down by all the irrelevant coursework you normally are forced to complete.

While these and others things would likely decerase my time playing games, the extra money would be nice to make my gaming setups even nicer and I'd end up with a much more enjoyable experience when I was still playing games.

 

[Legend of Aims]

Drastically decrease. I'll be traveling, sleeping, speeding in some exotic car.

Prob start some orphanage or program for kids that are less fortunate. That will eat up all my time.

 

[Gemeanie]

Decrease in console and pc gaming while increase in mobile gaming because I'm definitely going to spend time attending classes, meeting investment consultants,, doing volunteer works and traveling. If only money could cure my phone addiction.

 

[RoslindaleOne]

Decrease. I want to go out and see the world. Run my own restaurant/pub. Craft beer and whiskey. So much I want to do.

 

[rckvla]

I actually don't know because I'm not in the position.

It's either I spend all my time gaming or spend all my time spending all those money.

 

[bry]

im broke and my gaming time is low.
100m would deff further decrease it for me lmfao
