Your current being would be crushed, but new values would open up for you to follow, for better or worse.
On a related note, the value of taking a walk in the park unnoticed cannot be bought once you reach a certain level of fame.

True, though I doubt I'd get greedy or attention seeking, my parents did a pretty good job of teaching me humility.
I guess my goal as a game programmer is to get moderate success that sustains me financially and emotionally without overtaking my life.

May be some people just don't realize that famous people tend to be broken individuals. Just imagine you cannot even go outside without being disturbed all the time. Then many turn to drugs but pretend to live in a wealthy shell while in reality they rot inside and are not as free as they wish to be.

Have you seen these videos?
They're not on disc or anything but they're two developers going through all the ps2 R&C games with commentary. Really interesting stuff.
I hadn't seen these! Very cool. |

When is the last time he made a game? Maybe he's making games under a new name? In which case we wouldn't know. |

If success means stopping what I love doing, then count me out. I'd rather make games than get $2.5 billion to basically stop.

the arrangement wasn't actually 2.5 billion to stop making games, it was for something else

Maybe Notch making games was only what he loved because he didn't have a billion dollars to love other things

Variety is what gives life flavor, so he's using the time now to enjoy the things he couldn't when he was younger. It's not like he suddenly just thinks game making is bad, he just has different things to do with his time now. (also the whole "can't do anything without being scrutinized" thing)

Why would you need so much money, serious question. |
