Do you take it?


Youre limited to only what exists up until the day you take the money.

I say Hell yes. I dont even think its possible to watch, play or listen to all of the amazing TV, movies, music or video games that currently exist right now, id have enough for the rest of my life and then some.

This. And in my case, I like to read more than watch stuff, anyway, and books aren't mentioned. But even if they're included, my reading list is hella long anyway, so I wouldn't be devastated by just having to read old books.

Id say unfinished series can be allowed as long as they DO have a planned ending.

Yeah I was gonna add books but hit the character limit. It does apply to books and Youtube yeah (though Youtube might have some allowances if it doesnt conflict with the main rules).

Sports are allowed because thats live entertainment you can go see with your own eyes that just happens to be recorded.

New as in that's not yet released?

TV: There are like 5 shows per year that are a must watch for me.
Movies: Not a big fan, don't remember the last time I went to the cinema. Could definitely live without.
Games: Tough one, but the industry has been on a decline for years now. I'd still be able to play CSGO and I'd probably go back to Dota, so not that bad.
Music: I'm close to doing it for free.

So yeah, I'd do this for a million, even, let alone a billion.

Lol no.

What the hell would i even use all that money on?

If i suddenly got my hands on that much money, one of the first things id get is a top of the line computer and monitor, which id be using for all of those things, thus negating the purpose.

...well that and a new bed, but whatever.

This sounds impossible as riding in a car I could hear new music. Or I could see ads online for new shows/movies. Or heck someone playing it on their phone or on a plane. Basically it would be a life of no internet, and never leaving your house, or island, and having to hide when shipments of supplies come in as not to risk seeing or hearing something new.

Id say encountering it in passing accidentally out in the world is allowed just for the sake of living a normal life but youre not allowed to engage with it directly or own it yourself for your own personal use.

This is hard. So I get unlimited sex and can own all the supercars and private plane and yacht and live in a Palace.

But I've been a gamer all my life. And I enjoy my sci-fi. And I've been doing fine so far without being a rich guy.

This is hard question actually. Because I actually really enjoyed playing tennis and soccer before I went to uni and lost all my high school friends. I could just hire people to play sports with me everyday with that money. And I'd probably become healthier with the exercise.

Hmm. I really can't pick.

Maybe I'll decide after starfield is out.

I mean if I play minecraft, do I get to continue to play it with all the new future updates?

And does youtube videos count as TV show, music, movie and games?

Can I watch gameplay of new games on YouTube?

Theyre allowed if it doesnt conflict with the main rules. So if the video is about content pre-cutoff, sure, if it involves post-cutoff content then its not allowed.

Can I watch gameplay of new games on YouTube?

Nope.

I said yes. What I'm curious about is access to old shows, cause some of them are hard to find, but if by taking the money they become easier to find, well that'd just be gravy.
