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

It's translated to 2024 currency for relatability.

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!

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.

They are future dollars, the classic dollar will have a change of currency to hide the issue.

NES games cost around $60 in the 80s, maybe the pattern will hold.

Four minutes for a cup of coffee? Yesterday it was three!

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.

Ah yes that well-beloved classic Pippin Took and the Temple of Khazad-dûm
