Ah yes that well-beloved classic Pippin Took and the Temple of Khazad-dûm
i think nintendo would be more likely to sue the archaeologist instead of asking for 60$. especially considering the fact that they’re suing people for using emulators for consoles that they don’t even support anymore
So if the average price was $50 in 2000, and is about $70 today, assuming a linear rate of price increases, it would be $1663.33 in 4024.
This is a terrible model: it likely underestimates as inflation is geometric rather than arithmetic.
For a geometric model we have r=1.011329 over this period, thus extrapolating we get a price of…
$208,200,000,000
Which is insane, because it is so low for Nintendo!
And the minimum wage in 4024 is $2082, so it’s only the heads of Elon, Zuckerberg and Bezos that can afford it.
Don’t forget Nixon’s head!
You typed $6000 wrong.
It’s translated to 2024 currency for relatability.
Good God, for the sake of everybody in 4020, I hope it stays that price. Pretty sure a cup of coffee will be more expensive by then.
NES games cost around $60 in the 80s, maybe the pattern will hold.
Four minutes for a cup of coffee? Yesterday it was three!
They are future dollars, the classic dollar will have a change of currency to hide the issue.
The $ by then means the equivalent of 1 million USA dollars now. Also 1% of your soul, and 2% rights to your next of kin.
Tinfoil is free. Just saying something something ghost store…
Also, Nintendo can fuck off right now.
