System Wars is a one of a kind destination where gamers can discuss, rant, and debate about systems, platforms, handhelds and the games. Not many people survive System Wars. The mightiest system warriors back up their arguments with facts.
Rules are simple:
- Read the Terms of Use and System Wars Survival Guide.
- Must be Level 10 or higher to create topics.
- Keep your discussions around what belongs here: platforms, games, developers, publishers, and stats.
- Don't quote more than one image in your post.
- Do NOT post or bump extremely abusive discussions (adult material/illegal activities/illegal advertising/etc).
Someone offers you a billion dollars to stop playing games forever. Take it?

You know my luck would be I get the offer, agree to it, and it turns I did not read the fine print enough so it is a billion from some country like Botswana or something and it ends up being like a 100 bucks in my currency.

Who came up with that joke? First time I saw it was on Family Guy and I KNOW Family Guy couldn't think up a scenario like that.
Maybe back in the earlier seasons it could.

I get this strange feeling, while reading posts in here, that some of you are almost blaming video games for your shortcomings.
Like somehow your life will be better with money, and no video games.
Do you guys doubt your ambitions so much that you think you could never be successful enough to live well while still playing video games?
[/QUOTE] There's living well. And then there's a billion dollars. I would do many, many things for $1,000,000,000.[/QUOTE]
And I'm sure you could do just about anything you want with a fraction of a billion dollars.
Even the people who say they would travel the world could do so with a few thousand dollars.
[/QUOTE]
Yeah you can do a bit of travelling with a few thousand dollars. If you want to do it more posh, then add a couple thousand or so more.
With this much money you can travel the world your whole life pretty much. Even if money has become much less than it used to be (a million is very little nowadays for a good lifestyle) a billion will still get you places.
Honestly I would put like 900 million or more into a high interest account (well as high as they can go right now lol), and then live off the rest myself. You don't need that much money to live well, so you can build on it and maybe give some out to family later.

The stack would be 3300m tall.

4356 tons of tiokronor.
The stack would reach into space, being roughly 200 times taller than Mount Everest.
That's around 40. There would be 16 500 000 as many. 660 million. According to Wikipedia that is three times the amount of tiokronor in existence.Do you see where I'm going with this?
