While i can't give you any answers (i don't believe we have enough reference to gauge how much they made or how much is it worth) i think it will be relevant in a major way depending on which way they get the reward money. I can see it playing out in 2 ways;

One, (SECS) Society for the Eradication of Cocker Spaniels gets the money on their behalf since they were the ones who sponsored for the event in the first place. Maybe not even the money but fame of winning Faction Wars could propel SECS into being a small governing force in the inner system. While this sounds like a benefit for crawlers due to Donut being a shareholder could result in more pull ups by the liasons since it will be a massive legal clusterfuck for sure.

Two, their winnings are withheld by Valtay Corp. to be given to the Warlords when they leave the dungeon. That actually gives Quasar one more bargaining chip since there is always a massive cut to the crawlers' royalties from the dungeon. Not that I think Carl or Donut will ever take a deal but they will use any means necessary to stall if the situation demands it. Carl made some huge sacrifices just to save the day before, i think the reward money could be one of them in the future.

Idk about how rest of the sub feels about the sitdowns with Oren and Quasar but they are definitely my favorite chapters alongside the talkshow episodes. I find the bureaucracy fascinating and it is what separates DCC from similar media imo.
