Thanks, I did not expect this response and I'm thinking through it. I suppose Candy Crush Saga being valued at $X quite literally means that (some people believe that) if one were to purchase all of Candy Crush Saga, it would be able to generate about $X in value, either by collecting revenue or by reselling it or whatever. And at that point you could spend the resulting $X on nurses or schoolteachers or whatever.
I think my reservations with that are largely about how that interacts with "created" wealth, and whether created wealth is fungible for nurses and schoolteachers, but I don't think I have a well-formed response here yet.
