    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

    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.

    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!
