Default How much for you to never game again ?

This was originally posed to me about curry (cant put a price on it im afraid)

So, how much would it take to pay you out of gaming altogether, permanently ?

I have to say that it would take a fair bit for me. Its a hobby dating back to my early teens. I could live without it but would be a miss when ive got a day off here and there, and at the weekends.

Realistically, Id go for about 50k.

An infinite amount of money. I'd have to game when no-one's looking!

Enough money that I could live the rest of my life with; enough to pay for my house, car, food, clothes, kid(s), health care, etc. So that would have to be A LOT of money lol

1 billion pounds everyday that I don't play. I'll take cash from a courier every morning.

But even still I don't think I could give it up.

No money in the world could stop me from gaming, the only way im gonna stop gaming is...death/broken ps3/away on holiday. Been gaming since before my teens, 22 now, bit too hard to give up, is there a programme to stop gaming, bit like AA? i think we'd all need it if we were to give up.

I would need enough money to entertain myself with. with gaming i get great value per hour of entertainment. i reckon i spend about a 1000 euro's per year on gaming(including hardware) so i extrapolate that to me living another 100 years:P is 100000 i'm planning to spend. that holds up to about 20 hours a week. i gues i would need 20 euro's an hour to consider this(outdoor activitys) 20*20*52=20800 per year *100 = 2080000 euro's.

Don't know if this makes sense to anyone but 21 mil would be my answer:P

Don't think I'd be able to stop. Even with an infinite amount of money.

Gaming is my reason to live (ok maybe not but who cares), nothing will keep me from stopping it even s**tloads of money.
