Just curious how strongly people feel about this hobby.

 

[ReBurn]

How much do you have on you right now?

How much do you have on you right now?

About tree fiddy?

 

[DaleinCalgary]

great place to post this question

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Enough to where I could do all the things in IRL that I do in games. 100 million should cover it.

 

[Majormaxxx]

 

[TommyCronin6969]

40k

 

[Gaiff]

Voted $1M, but it would be $1B. I'd open my own studios and make my dream game(s) but never play them.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Voted $10 million. Enough that I would never have to work again while still being able to travel and enjoy life. I would still be pretty pissed I can't game, but I would take that deal.

 

[Cornbread78]

I wonder how much my life insurance policy is worth right now....

 

[stickkidsam]

Elden Ring: $70
Controller: $80
PS5: $500

Running a train on Malenia’s rotten ass?

Priceless

 

[Topher]

A million dollars will buy a lot of Warhammer 40k

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[Danjin44]

None, enjoying my favourite hobby is part of enjoying life and no amount of money worth giving up that.

 

[R6Rider]

$100 Million

 

[Trogdor1123]

I said a million. Would let me create a good base for my family and give me time and money to work on my other hobbies.

 

[Metnut]

More than $1M less than $10M.

I’ve done well for myself and really enjoy gaming but there’s lots of other things I enjoy too. Enough money to stop working my job and live comfortably and I can find other stuff to do. Didn’t really play games much from age 20-32 and was fine.

 

[Mhmmm 2077]

$100M would be enough to start a nice AA game dev studio, I don't need to play them, but I can create them.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

$1m? Ehh, not that desperate.
$10m? Definitely worth having a conversation.
$100m? Fuck off Elon, I'm just better than you.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Could I use that money to have someone play it for me and do what I want in them? If so, then a couple hundred million USD would cover it.

 

[killatopak]

Double what I need in order to reverse that rule.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

No amount would get me to stop

 

[LectureMaster]

I think 10k is good enough for Topher to pay off his debt, and learn the lesson about how fraudulent gaming can be, and hopefully stay away from it forever.

I'm now $10k in debt and I just fried my GPU trying to do some kind of "overvolting" "underclocking" something or another.

You guys lied to me.

PC gaming is a scam. Fuck you. Fuck you all.

edit: this ain't serious folks

 

[MagusMajul]

1 Billion then I would start my own Game company and play the game on twitch'

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Neural Link interface, collect my billion and secretly play games with my mind.

 

[ap_puff]

Why would I reduce my quality of life for more money when I already have everything I need?

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

1 million is the lowest I'll accept. 10k is pathetic and nothing. 100k is a good start but not enough to make me quit. 1 million will allow me to work towards owning a decent house with a bunch of leftovers so I could at least start a huge movie collection and spend money on other hobbies or vacations.

 

[Gambit2483]

Wut?

 

[existensmaximum]

10M probably. I still have other hobbies and interests.

Is 10M enough to never have to work again and just focus on traveling and other hobbies? I could get my dream home together with my girlfriend and live happily and childfree

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Gotta be at least a couple of million because I have to swap that hobby with another and that would be just traveling around the world for years and years so I need my moneyz.

 

[Banjo64]

£10m is give it great consideration.

Not having to work again for 40 hrs per week vs not doing my favourite hobby for about 5 hours per week on average.

With that time and lack of financial and work stress I could read lots, get really in to cinema, tend my garden, volunteer, go to the gym every day etc.

 

[El Muerto]

$100m. I want enough to start a business and buy some land to do outdoorsy stuff and then live off it. Go full Yellowstone.

 

[IAmRei]

You would take my breath away? Without game, my life is stressful :'(

 

[Ailike]

I play games to escape life. Give me enough money where my life wouldn't need escaping, and sure. I'll find a real hobby then.

 

[Kacho]

If someone gave me 1 billion I’d swear them off for good. I’d get lots of guitars and Warhammer and be perfectly happy.

 

[DavidGzz]

Hmmm, nope. You could never pay me enough. It's one of the best reasons to live for me. I'd say the same thing about the gym. I don't need loads of money for happiness.

 

[Rockondevil]

1 mill wouldn't be enough to retire now and still entertain myself without games. 10 mill on the other hand I could find plenty to do.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Relaxation is more valuable than money, imo.

 

[TheSHEEEP]

No amount of money.
Why would I want to get rid of my greatest hobby since 30+ years? I live and breathe this shit. Are you crazy?

 

[Topher]

I think 10k is good enough for Topher to pay off his debt, and learn the lesson about how fraudulent gaming can be, and hopefully stay away from it forever.

I'm learning how to play tic tac toe......by myself.

Somehow I'm still losing

 

[SHA]

Large numbers don't represent the real owner no matter who he is. for me, even cashed $T wouldn't change how I think and view the world.

 

[kiphalfton]

Pay me to stop doing something I already don't do? Sure, why not.

 

[Radical_3d]

40k

Exactly. Give me 10M so I can retire and I’d still have time consuming hobbies as 40K.

No amount would get me to stop

 

[IDKFA]

1 million would be fine.

With that money I could buy a house outright and ensure financial security for my family.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

I had to go $100 milly. I'd have so much time for gaming with 10 mill but I wouldn't be able to play, it would be tragic irony... like that greek guy who turned his wife and daughter to gold. Dunno his name but he really had the midas touch

If I have 100 mill I can pay strippers to play games forever while I give them instructions on which social link bonus to rank up next in Metaphor Re: Fantasio 2

 

[Pegasus Actual]

No amount would get me to stop

Well yeah if you already have the money...

I think 10 mil would do it for me. Surely there are other hobbies out there if I go looking. I like Flight Sim 2024... but there must be something one could do with 10 million dollars that's kind of like that but I just can't think what.

 

[TheAssist]

No reason to give it up. Its fun and connects me to other people. I can easily earn enough to live comfortably. Its not like having 10 times more money will make me 10 times happier at least not if you already earn a very livable wage.

For me, there is something about games that you simply cant buy with money and cant quite replace with other hobbies. Its having all the choices that makes me happy and getting rid of that choice for just more money would actually make me happier, in the long run it would probably make me more miserable, knowing that I gave up that kind of freedom.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

No amount would get me to stop

Same

You can always get more money, what’s the point of money if you can’t enjoy a cherished hobby?

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

If someone gave me 1 billion I’d swear them off for good. I’d get lots of guitars and Warhammer and be perfectly happy.

Todd Howard would then tempt you back into selling your soul

 

[Generic]

100k would solve all my problems.
