  • Like, I don’t want to sound like a corporate shill, but Valve has been the most consumer friendly corporation I’ve ever seen. Even if they do meet the criteria for a monopoly, they are the model of what a company that finds itself as The Monopoly should be, in my opinion.

    I have no intent to sign up for this “lawsuit”, even though I stand to gain some $500 from it. I hope Steam lives long and prospers.

    Based on my (probably wrong) math, either a penny or, like a 2 cent coin (those existed at some point, right?).

    So the ratio of old money to new money is approximately .25 to 4.50, which means that the value of money has shrunk by a factor of about 18.

    25 cents over 18 yields ~1.38 cents.

    So if he took a penny, cut it into thirds, taped one of those thirds to another penny, and was able to flip that unbalanced mess, you could say he’d lost a modern quarter’s worth of value.
