Not so much defense, more like "uhh, yeah, things cost money, inflation exists, welcome to the real world", and I can't disagree honestly. People gotta use an inflation calculator on old games.

This meme does have real "too late, I drew you as the soy cuck and myself as the chad!" energy.

[u/DrScience01 → u/Findict_52]

The whole "inflation exist" is moot when the wages are still the exact same

Nintendo develops their games in Japan. Their wages are not stagnant. People keep looking at this from a very US-centric angle only.

People keep looking at this from a very US-centric angle only.

Real median wages are up in the US so people looking at it from a US only angle are just as stupid.

Further proof of said stupidity is the number of idiots that are going to respond to this comment without understanding what the word "real" means.

335 in Q1 1979 and 370 in Q4 2024.

That's around 10% over the course of 44 years? And it fluctuated more than that in between.

Bro that's flat.

EDIT: I apparently can't respond anymore, so I'll just edit this.

Gave you the direct link and you still want to lie about the numbers?

Two things are lying about the numbers. You by pretending the X axis starts there, and the graph by compressing the Y axis.

Also picking a recession as your starting point is deceptive.

Also feigning ignorance is a form of lying.

the 80s and 90s where the price of games actually went down

The prices of games went up during this period.

That's up, dumbass.

Nope. It went up and down more than 10% during the interim. It's flat.

Those numbers are adjusted for inflation.

There are actual flat portions of that graph but a 10% increase is “bro that’s flat”.

Edit: Lol. They replied then blocked me.

Nope. It went up and down more than 10% during that period.

It's flat.

Or else your argument in the other thread about the S&P 500 not taking a nosedive because it was at this level in november stops making sense.

I was responding to someone who said their 401k was "in the SHITTER" which is insane to say unless their 401k was in the SHITTER in November.

These comment threads make it clear critical thinking is not one of your strengths.

Nah. I got blocked or something and could no longer respond either.

If they listened to bootlickers like yourself, they may have moved over to a stock-heavy portfolio since November. In that case, they've simply lost a chunk of their value. A loss of 15% or 20% is plenty to warrant that reaction IMO.

Gave you the direct link and you still want to lie about the numbers? It's 321 in Q1 of 1980 and 375 in Q4 of 2024. That's ~17%, not 10%.

And it fluctuated more than that in between.

Yeah, in between, being the 80s and 90s where the price of games actually went down not just adjusted for inflation but nominally as well

Bro that's flat.

That's up, dumbass.
