I probably wouldn't take the money. My freedom to game is way more valuable than a billion bucks!

Umm, yeah. I've got plenty that could occupy me for a lifetime if I had a billion Pounds.

I'd take it and then start playing games again, when you're rich you don't have to live by the rules.

I'll question his motives.

Think about taking the money.

Probably would take the money.

Go to School. Learn something to make something out of myself. Get a Good Job, Get a Good Wife, Have Children, Raise Children, Have a Life.

F*ck yes, are you kidding me? I'd do it for a million, but a billion? You'd have to be a complete idiot to even think about it.

I enjoy games and always have, but damn. They aren't that important and as you get older their significance becomes less and less.

For one, you would have more simple joys and much more freedoms if you were a billionaire.

2. You must be young. Really. Nobody thats had to go out in life and make their way would put video games on such a high pedestal when it comes to a billion dollars.

I love gaming, but I love traveling even more, and there's no way I'd see all the places I want in the world with my future job/free time, and I'd regret that infinitely more than not being able to play the latest games.

If anyone would consider still gaming instead of that amount of money, then you're either very very young or haven't got your priorities straight. Extremely stupid question

That's kind of hard to pin down, but there are quite a few things I like more than gaming. I love old cars, for instance, and with that kind of money, I could buy and maintain a rather large stable of them. I also love traveling, boating, etc. The real kicker is that being independently wealthy would give me an unlimited amount of time to write, which is what I really love.

Yes in a fricken heartbeat. In fact I'd give up gaming for $1000 since I don't really play games anymore.. Anyone one who says no to a billion dollars is dumb lol.

Think of what I could buy with a billion dollars! A garage full of every car I wanted.

A large mansion on several islands and every big city that I'd like to live in.

A large collection of art, Patek Phillipe watches the finest tailored suits, clothes, diamonds etc..

a 12.12 channel Snell THX Reference 100,000 watt / 8K cinema i nevery home

private jet, and my own HUGE yaucht.

Or a couple of video games? LOOOL:

It's nice to see some modesty. I'd probably buy my parents a nice home and just keep living in the one I live in now. Re-decorate a bit. Buy a nicer car. And just make movies the rest of my life.

I should of course say yes but...I just can't accept it for a lot of reasons such as what am I supposed to do with all that money? It's a billion and since I gave up gaming what the hell am I to do with it? I can't really buy games as what's the point of that if I can't play them and so what am I supposed to do with the money? I'd be set for life with nothing to really do but just have an easy cruise towards death. Kind of sad that video games mean that much to a person but it's just a very entertaining hobby and a fun past time that I don't really want to lose (as pathetic as that sounds), even for that amount of money.

So, no. I'm fine as things are; able to have a pretty easy going life AND still have time to kick virtual @$$ while raiding a dungeon.
