Comment on Braid: Anniversary Edition "sold like dog s***", says creator Jonathan Blow in ~games
RussellSprouts Link ParentWhere did you get $31 today from $10 in 2008? I did a quick search for an inflation calculator, which indicated it's closer to $15. I can't speak for the accuracy of the calc but it certainly...Where did you get $31 today from $10 in 2008? I did a quick search for an inflation calculator, which indicated it's closer to $15.

The closest I'd have to a daily watch is a Borealis Bronze Bull Shark. When I'm in the office or out to dinner, etc., I rotate between a Heuer Monaco Calibre 11, Panerai PAM563, IWC Spitfire Mark XVI, Omega Speedmaster Auto Triple-Date, and a Blancpain Leman chronograph.
The article mentions that the $650mm purchase price is 500mm notes and 150mm cash, so I don't think it's coming from the CEO's personal wealth. On a quick scan I see that Wonder raised 700mm in SAFEs (no data on terms e.g. discount/valuation cap) in March 2024, and 100mm in November 2023 at 3.5B pre-money valuation. Seems like an incredibly high valuation for such an early stage company, but they do seem to have very aggressive growth plans.
