Yes hard decision but it is something that wont hurt us much and we can replace gaming with something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I wouldn't. I can't see the point on having enough cash to retire on to then not be able to enjoy something to love. There's plenty of other ways to have fun when you have money, but sooner or later I would miss it and regret that choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Living the rest of my days in a wheelchair, I have an extremely small amount of options for things to keep myself occupied. If I had to give up gaming, there would be nothing for me to keep my hands occupied. If I don't keep my hands, ears, and eyes occupied I start having severe anxiety that often goes into full blown panic attacks. So fuck the money. I'm keeping my games.

skyfire Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 With corona out there. I think board games and also the card based games indoor are going to get more people attention this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 My current concern is constant changing of apartment after 14 months contract. So getting one good house outside city and then garden and some pets is how I replace gaming. I need my health back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander. Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 It'd be very difficult for someone like me to decide. I understand if I'd been in a tough situation, I would just take all the money and be willing to give up video games for good, but without a doubt it would be a tough thing to do. I'm unsure that this situation will ever occur, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaceyPowers Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 If I were being offered an amount that could not only change my life for the better but other peoples’ (i.e. billions for me to distribute), I would probably feel obligated to accept the offer and give up gaming. But for a smaller amount like a million, it wouldn’t be worth it to me to give up one of the things I enjoy most, especially since I am disabled and competing options are limited (plus, I can’t really imagine giving up BioShock forever).

To those on the bottom, a million sounds great. But in all truth, that's not exactly a lot of money these days. It wouldn't last very long. So I would say no to it, and keep my games. That's if you rely on just the one million. You can invest into many things with that sort of money and easily make double the money if not more if you use the money right. Always think of what something could become rather than just what is infront of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Maybe not, You can buy happiness from money. Whenever i feel sad, upset or missing someone i start playing games. Also these money can not last very long. Since everything are now expensive and hard to buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I have posted a reply to this already, but I've thought some more and have a bit to add. If I didn't have a family, it would be a very easy no. What's the point on having all that green and being unable to spend both and and your time doing what you love and embracing your passion? Even with money, that's not a life worth living. Given that I do have a family, that makes the choice a little harder. Making a sacrifice for you kid's wellbeing and future is something expected of any parent. Having said that, if I wanted my son to be raised by a robot with no soul or passion for anything, I would have given him up to plugged into the matrix or something, that's slightly better than ME being that robot. So, my answer would still be no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackO Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 To be honest if I will get Million dollars on condition of giving up gaming than I would choose money over gaming as it will be big amount for me and I can enjoy my life without any problems. I love gaming but it's not my life to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 You have to be smarter and more business savvy than I am, but if you invest right, you can make a million fairly easy if you give it a year or two. Like I said in my initial post, $1,000,000 isn't a whole lot of money these days except to people who aren't well off. If this was 1960, then a million would be hitting the lottery beyond your wildest dreams. But alas, that was longer ago than I've even been alive.

Family sedan Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I'm usually pretty bad at my jobs, so I would have to take the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
