Play to your heart's content. I do multiplayer games with my friends in big law virtually every weekend. I also gave up on studying for law school to play Breath of the Wild.

I toggle between DisplayPort (gaming desktop) and HDMI (work laptop). I'll play something like Total War, Crusader Kings 2, or some other turn based game that I can pause and toggle to HDMI if I need to work.

This is the way. Having an ultra efficient set-up where you use your docking station to toggle between games and work.

I probably play 10 hours a week and have no trouble meeting billables. It's all about balance, like several others have said.

Eh, I'll wait until more expansions are out. CK2 on launch vs. 2 years later was night and day.
