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

Increase. As I've made more money over the years I've pretty much still done the same things in my leisure time. Becoming rich would mean that instead of working all day I'd be able to work out more, learn a new language, etc. But I'd still play tons of games.

I'm not 100% averse to travel but I have incredible amounts of anxiety around it. I suppose it'd be easy to find people to go with me if I was paying, though.

Increase, because that Switch is coming on board of all my flights with me. And I would be flying a lot.

With that much money you can do what you like when you like so depending on how much you want to keep doing the same thing, video games, or try stuff you previously couldn't, snorting cocaine out of high class escorts' belly buttons whilst your pet lion eats a dead elk you hunted earlier that day, I would have to say I don't know.

I'd probably quit gaming. Just travel for the rest of my life and experience all kinds of new shit.

I think increase at first until I'd get through the games I've really been wanting to, then decrease due to travelling chasing snow. I imagine leveling out somewhere in there where I'd balance games with snowboarding, somehow.

short-term my gaming time would decrease drastically, maybe for a year or two tops
long-term I'd game the same amount I've been the last 10 years or so

Decrease. My end game is to own a nice sized piece of land and build a house on it. Have a large garden, chickens, etc. Even without having to work anymore, I'd still have to tend to a lot of stuff. Outside of that, I'm not sure what I could even spend that money on. There are only a couple of places I would really like to visit, so I wouldn't be traveling much.

Increase to a ridiculous amount? It wouldn't replace my 40 hour work week (family time would, mostly), but I'd still spend far more time gaming.

Between being broke and working, I don't game that much. It'd probably increase at first, since I'd go traveling but take a Switch and play all those Nintendo games. Then it would increase again to something more ridiculous once I got done traveling and goofed off for a year.

Then it'd drop again once I started to actually do things with the money like accomplish my own goals in life. Basically, it'd fluctuate but I'd be able to control it much more than I do now. Gaming isn't my favorite hobby by any means, but there's literally no way I'd just stop because I became rich.

It would either decrease a lot or a little, I just have so many things I want that don't relate to video games but can't get because of money issues, but I'd still play even with the things I want. I don't think there's any way I could stop.
