I don't think Startmail will be affected. Ofcourse using Gmail is free pass to your data. But look at this https://www.startmail.com/ . I think if you also use Proton or other mailing services you're 99,9% safe. I sometimes play video games, some of my friends are kids who are cursing in gamechats. How will gaming chats be affected? Does the government have access already?

Does the government have access already?

Via a subpoena, yes. Or directly via the NSA's PRISM program.
