   in other words, if we say a game costs 60 euro now, then if there hadn't been any consumer price inflation since 1993, a full price game would cost 35 euro instead.

     Why pay for a computer game if Emacs comes with Tetris for free?

     @lain Sounds about right. I have a rule-of-thumb that (assuming 2% inflation yearly) prices double every ~30 year (every 35 year to be more precise). Which is quite wild when you think about it, because that means that by the time you retire, you've seen prices go ~ times 4 in your life!
