Yeah! I don't really see why winning it would stop me, just buy a better set up and then get back into playing

Lottery and 'infinite' funds is a bit tame of a thought experiment, since the only real incentive to stop playing Starcraft 2 would be the existence of 'better' and more 'fun' alternatives - and to give an answer: yes I would continue playing Starcraft 2, but not necessarily because it's the most fun thing in the world.

But how about this: Would you play Starcraft 2 if you only had six months left to live? One month? What about a week?

Interesting, but I wouldn't say one thought experiment is necessarily easier/tamer than the other. I think if I had 6 months/1 month/1 week to live, I would definitely not play Starcraft 2, mostly because I have a list of "things I want to do before I die" and regardless of whether or not "play SC2" makes that list, I've already done it. I can check that one off, at least to some degree. That one seems easy.

If I have a natural lifespan but don't need to work for money, however, I need something to fill "the void" that work normally fills. I think I would spend some time traveling, hiking, etc., but sitting on a beautiful beach all day doesn't strike me as the most engaging way to spend a life. I think my question then becomes one of the following:

1) Do I play a lot of SC2? Or, is SC2 robust enough to build a life around?

or

2) Do I play SC2 casually? Or, given mostly unlimited means, is SC2 one of the most entertaining/fun/relaxing activities I could engage in?

Yea, I would probably play a ton more. But with that kind of money at hand, I'd want to do something more than just playing.I'd prolly open a permanent barcraft, an esports bar with different games to watch than just starcraft at one place and trying to expand on it. Going to a lot of events sounds fun, too and would be good for that kind of business. With the amount of tournaments you can really always show some games in a bar like that.
