    Nah, there’s nothing wrong with having fun. It’s just that you’ll likely never experience the win in your lifetime, so I’d rather use that collective money over time to buy a couple steam games or something, ya know?

      Nah that’s fair. It’s just nothing you do in a game will ever matter, so I’d rather use that extra time to daydream and talk to my friends and family about what we’d do as billionaires, ya know?
