Money is important, but is there a place here to discuss the 'time' cost of games? Games are a useful tool for relaxation and other purposes (and a comparatively inexpensive hobby) but in my case it is easy to get carried away! For my most serious addiction I have chosen to time-box my gaming by only paying for two months each update (every other year-ish). It takes conscious effort and self discipline to change direction toward creation instead of consumption. The tiny bit of gamification here on HN has me completely hooked, but I cling to the notion that my participation is creating some value (however slight). I look forward to the day when maintaining CRUD web apps is properly gamified, so I can earn money playing games! PS. There is another opportunity cost of games vs. alternatives which require strenuous physical exertion that cumulatively improve health and conditioning (exercise, sports, etc.).
