I have to ask, what kind of scenario is this trade-off being asked in? Can I choose to hold off on the vow, and give up on gaming later? Or is it an "answer now" type of question?
I'd really like to hold off on giving up the gaming, till Reality says my ol' gaming days are over. But if it was the latter scenario, I'd probably hesitantly give up.
Though these video games provide me entertainment and joy, my future holds more weight than games do. What kind of opportunities will be possible by taking back the fortune that has been building up over the years? It's a good deal....even if it may crush my young heart to a certain degree, but in the end, it will most likely be worth it.
