I don't know what you are awaiting to happen with Monero... It already fulfills my demands for it: it is a private and uncensorable store of value, and it can be exchanged either privately or in Poloniex with rather small difficulty to other vehicles.
It IS working. With Crypto Kingdom, it will gain more transactions, but that does not mean that the capability wasn't there already.
On my behalf, I am as a speculator expecting the purchasing power to increase with Monero.
Anonymous transactions can be made also with euros or dollars if you are willing to hold and use cash.
For storing value it is required the price is stable or rather rise little by little over time (not too much to encourage excessive dumpings but also not too little to discourage the hoarding).
Against bitcoin Monero has been stable, so the bigger problem here is the price of bitcoin.
As it is obvious for many, bitcoin is not going to shoot to 1000 usd probably never again, Monero needs to be stabilized or prefertably rising against dollars or euros to attract new people holding it (the holders create the value for any coin).
Crypto Kingdom is probably the only real application one can use Moneros and the reality is the majority of people in the world will not use it (the same thing: Angry Birds are not used by the majority of World's population despite the fact that the majority of world's population probably has heared or enountered it somehow). That is, a game can be a success even though the minority of 7 billion people will use it (I call it semi-success if 100 000 Monero-paying people use it and a Jackpot if 1 000 000 or more users are achieved - still both figures are only a fraction of the population).
Monero needs the whole ecosystem to become succesful, and there will be point to create such if the market capitalzation is somewhat remarkable. I am sure there will be entrepreneurs willing to do it if they see it worthwhile taking the risk.
