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

[Chaeotic]

Increase, increase, and... Yeh, bloody increase. The state of the world at the moment has me a little wary about travelling around, so while they're a few locations I'd pop by you can only spend so much time away from home as well. Could you imagine the setup 100 million would get you?!

 

[Eblo]

I don't think I'd quit my job even after coming into money like that. Maybe a long vacation. I'd say my time spent playing games would be relatively unchanged.

 

[HanSoloCup]

I think I'd spend about the same. Travel and my photography would replace work, so my Vita would get more love. But I think I'd still spend a similar amount of time gaming.

 

[Naked Snake]

Drastically decrease, I'd travel everywhere

Probably this.

Then again, I don't play much these days, so all that time spent in flights might mean more gaming, heh.

 

[Compsiox]

Honestly the possibility of being able to get good enough to get large sums of money does contribute to me playing Siege even if only a little. I've gotten up near there by joining teams and completing in the smaller tournaments and not doin so bad.

 

[Etain]

It'd probably mainly shift and spike before going down. There's a lot of neat stuff you could get with that money even if you don't aim high, like a good VR setup and making as high end of a PC as is possible before the increases are imperceptible, but there's also so much to see and do with that kind of money. Would probably be a good way to enjoy yourself while the reality set in and you got everything sorted out.

On the other hand, this is a really good point. Still, there's probably a lot to see and do in the local area or at least your country.

 

[Kinopio]

That's a tough one. Initially there would be a decrease, but I'd probably end up with more game time after things settled down.

I'd never work again, aside from charity work.

 

[Valkerion]

Probably stay the same. I rarely make time for it as is, and the things I do with my money probably would not change all that much aside from spending more.

Might decrease then increase though. Would buy all new gaming setup and room to do it in. Then buckle in for a few days at a time.

 

[Jader7777]

Increase, I'd also buy everyone I know consoles and games. Basically, I would increase the net gaming in my area. I would even build an arcade, like a real arcade with 50 Daytona units and oh man oh man life is so unfair.

 

[Shoes]

That and I just like being by myself. I'm kinda like a cat when it comes to the outside world and people, lol. Pretty much only go to either for food. xD

Click to shrink...

Agreed again. I don't think any amount of money would change that :p

 

[Samimista]

Agreed again. I don't think any amount of money would change that :p

Click to shrink...

For sure. :) We can just use the money on video games and loads of sugar, haha.

 

[IgorL]

Increase

A LOT

 

[ENCODED]

I'd buy a Switch and game while I travel the world.

Click to shrink...

This is what I was thinking too

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Increase by a ton.

 

[ConHaki66]

i would quit gaming tbh

 

[TLZ]

Decrease for a good while while I'm busy going around buying and doing all the stuff I wanted in life.

 

[Popokarimu]

Drastically decrease, at least for awhile. I'd end up traveling a lot and visiting friends and family.

 

[Mike_Hawk]

You already know it's gonna increase to first class ticket with a switch and more gaming once I land to new countries.

 

[Deleted member 17289]

I would be able to start research and development for a CPU that can play assassins creed origins and most likely be playing more games in the meantime.

 

[BloodHound]

Decrease for a year while I travel the world then increase after that after I'm settled and not working a 9-5. Most of my time would be gaming, dating, investing and starting business.

 

[massoluk]

Uh... Decrese big time, I would be travelling around the world nonstop

 

[Dremorak]

Probably increase a little, I would start my own games company with my brothers and maybe hire some others too. And probably go with a 6 hour work day :D

 

[EvilChameleon]

Decrease. I would be spending too much time at Walt Disney World and Disneyland to be playing games.

 

[Noroi_Kisaragi]

$100 million?
the average budget for a japanese game is $3m
I can finally make my dream games come true.

What's that? I have to save money for my future kids? Oh...

 

[Notaskwid]

Would definitely decrease my time on ERA

 

[ronco2000]

Decrease. Traveling like crazy. Oh, Hookers and blow.

 

[Deleted member 679]

Probably about the same. I'd sleep a lot better, though, that's for sure.

 

[jmizzal]

Increase I wont work anymore lol

Maybe by a business but just be in the background

 

[Opto]

Games would still be an unwinding time, but I'd likely start some personal projects that would take up all of my time.

 

[batfax]

Decrease while I get things together to be comfortable for the rest of my life and then maybe indulge in some traveling or what have you, and then I'd have a massive increase to catch up on what I missed... and also probably just fund a few dream games out of pocket. Phantasy Star V, Skies of Arcadia II, and a Harvest Moon 64 remake at long last!

 

[Father Kratos]

Increase by leaps and bounds :)

 

[Yeeeeeeeeeer]

Major decrease. I'd jetset around the world in a private jet

 

[AleSatan]

Absolutely increase. I spend less than $100 most years as is. That kind of dough... Man, I'd be an impulse gamer with a hell of a VR cave.

 

[ethanradd]

Increase, I'd actually afford to get some downtime, as it is I barely have any time or energy to game

 

[Pineconn]

I'd throw all that money into an account and never work again. Video games all day, every day.

 

[FaceHugger]

Probably decrease, as I'd have the money to focus on travel and charity, which is what I do full time were I rich.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Decrease but my switch would probably become my main console over ps4.

 

[Deleted member 9486]

Vastly decrease. I'd travel the world and make memories. Gaming is more my relax when I'm too tired to do something better hobby.

Also, I missed your other thread. I'd quit gaming for enough money to retire and live comfortably (not luxuriously). Not sure that that number is. Again, I enjoy gaming but it's becoming less of a priority as I near 40.

 

[ThEoRy...]

I would just travel everywhere and actually do stuff.

 

[Camstun187]

Significantly for the first year, then I'd start traveling a ton and would most likely move to Japan and live out the rest of my life there, playing games, hiking, being fit, and living a Larry David-style diet.

 

[Dernus]

Increase cause I'd buy a house for competitive gaming with all my friends. I'd also travel to some bucket list places once I get settled in.

 

[clay_ghost]

About the same. Will travel bur since I will bring my switch along for flights and long transport.

 

[Steven35]

The same i reckon.I don't know what i'd do with all that money,i'm not a materialistic person.After a couple of holidays and helping my mum,dad and brothers out,i'd still be gaming.

 

[Kangi]

Decrease. A lot.

I mean right off the bat I'd have better things to worry about, like investing some of that money to secure a comfortable living for the rest of my life, hiring a good lawyer and bodyguard because I just won an unbelievable amount of money, buying a new house...

Then my life of leisure would probably involve traveling and sightseeing and other activities to the point that sitting in front of a computer/TV would be something I'd only occasionally do. Switch would still prove useful for private jet rides, as others have pointed out.

 

[Venom]

To be honest it would increase because I'd straight up allocate $50m to set up my own development studio.

The remaining $50m would be used to scalp all the up coming (probably) Nintendo mini 64 classic consoles so I could sell them all for triple the price and use that money to fund another studio.

 

[nikos]

Significantly decrease. I'd be out traveling and living the dream.

 

[ResetEraIsTheBestEra]

the first year or so? probably decrease to zero. after enjoying myself ill go hermit mode for a year to watch movies and play games

 

[Alvis]

I would immediately quit school without any kind of hesitation, move somewhere nice (I really want to live in a rural place that still has fiber. I wouldn't move to New York or anything like that), and yeah, I would game a lot, buying every game at launch on Steam and shit.

I would also travel a lot and do crazy shit but I would I still game a lot, I'm convinced of that. Like, I would have some kind of crazy gaming room, with a stupidly huge projector or something.

 

[Vir]

It would decrease for me for a while, I'd invest some into my currently business - to the point where I wouldn't have to work day to day in it.

After that I'd travel, but in the end I would still be playing as they are a great form or relaxation for me.

 

[Vex]

I could pay someone to game for me. So I could watch them on twitch an-

....Wait.
