Actually it is relevant as this was a marketing decision to help create the ecosystem which is an intrgal part of speculation. Not commenting on this would be akin to not commenting on the adoption from the dark Markets.
Although I am of the opinion that the impact will be small on the ecosystem and by extension the price as those that got scammed are from what I can see the majority of long term holders that will not be put off of XMR because of this.
I would like to clarify that the XMR part of the game remains fully solvent (although most players with XMR balance have withdrawn now). The debt comes from rpietila creating BTC (B1) in-game that was not deposited with a third party, then delaying withdrawals and now claiming to have it stolen.
Not just XBT (B1) but also EUR (E1). Let us continue this discussion in the proper thread

Edit 2: This whole affair only serves to illustrate the value of "hard money" such as precious metals or Monero, Bitcoin etc., where the money supply cannot be increased at will, by a "central banker".
