How are video games meaningless? They are entertainment. If someone devotes their life to pacman, they hopefully enjoy it!
It seems to me that we do not disagree. From my point of view the CEO/guild leader discovered that he/she enjoys working and that they do not enjoy anything that is very expensive. That is great!
All I am saying is that making a lot of money should go hand in hand with asking 'What will I use this money for?'.
To your point, if you ask the question and decide that you get a lot of personal fulfillment from activity that makes money, you might not be able to spend it as fast as it comes in.
