Fallout 4 is coming...and I can't wait. So while I wait for the newest installment in the Fallout series, let me tell you a tale of a young Fallout fan named GatorMacheteJr. and the deal he made with Bethesda. He traded in BOTTLE CAPS for a pre-order of the game. But did he get his money's worth? What did he ACTUALLY pay for his copy of Fallout 4? The answer is shocking!

By this math it would take:
1,696,937,500 fallout caps to buy one suit of diamond armor.
Or

2024 fallout show anyone?
Actually, in Fallout: New Vegas you could counterfeit bottle caps. The Crimson Caravan sends you out to a bottling factory to shut the machine down in fear of inflation.
yeah that's why they wanted it shutdown otherwise the economy in fallout lore would be getting fucked up.
Isn't there a similar place where you get the gauss rifle? Or is it the same place?
HelloDolly I don't know exactly what you're talking about, but the bottle press is located in the Sunset Sarsaparilla HQ. You can receive a special laser pistol from doing "The Legend of the Star" quest. I personally don't know of a Gauss rifle in that area.
HelloDolly Your thinking of Brewer's beer bootlegging shack.
Evan Scott Actually ACTUALLY ACTUALLYACTUALLYACTUALLY
That's kind of the entire point. That one bottle cap press was so important to destroy because it's so hard to manufacture new caps. If it was easy or common, destroying that press wouldn't have been a big deal to the crimson caravan.
What if his barter skill is 100?
Drawerful Dark good point
Oof good point
Makes sense
mire like Barter 255
I have no clue what that means cause I don't play Fallout
Caps would be really valuable if this happened in real life depending on how rare natural resources are to find so basically 230 bottle caps would make u rich in a way depending on the resources
Who’s watching in 2024? 🥲

Lockstin & Gnoggin I'm a big fan of you and game theory
Do a theory on underwater air bubbles in games like Sonic, Mario, and Conker. They're a 3D platformer staple, and I want to know if they could actually save someone from drowning.
Remmer Kay That's a good idea.
Remmer Kay That's actually a very good idea. Good call dude.
Remmer Kay Lol for some reason when I read 3D I read it as "Bubsy 3D" ... Idk why the hell that happened.
That's a great topic for a next video
Also, how big a bubble you'd need to sustain yourself for at least one minute if you can breath with a bubble. Good idea!
So did he overpay?
"Well yes, but actually no."
Bear in mind, Bethesda could have simply refused to accept the caps in the first place.
Waching old videos after matpats retirement...feels weird
In fallout 4 gold bar costs 539 caps sooo
imao the courier crashed the gold market
mean 5390?
HantalGazi_Alt
Damn you must have 10 charisma
and this isn't from fallout 4 if you see from the vid
Great video, but there was one thing I was wondering... You calculated about how much Fallout Caps would be worth in 1961, and then in 2015. However, the Fallout universe economy would continue until 2077, when the Great War happened and prices stopped changing. Due to inflation having a massive effect on the world considering all natural resources being used up, I wondered what caps would be worth in 2077. So I took it upon myself to figure it out.
In order to figure out the value of caps I first figured out the value of gold in 2077. In order to do this, I had to figure out the % increase of another commodity. In Fallout 4, if you go to a Red Rocket station, the sign will say that ¨Class C Coolant¨ is $113.99 per gallon. Class A is cut off, but I´ll assume Class C is more of an average than Class A. I will also assume that ¨coolant¨ is effectively the same price as conventional gasoline would be and compare it as such. Comparing the gas prices of 1961 (~$0.27 per gallon) to the coolant prices of 2077 gives a percent increase of 42,122% Now, multiplying the price of gold in 1961, being $35.50 per Troy ounce, by this 42,122% means that gold in 2077 would be worth $1,495,331 PER TROY OUNCE. HOLY CRAP. This would mean a 35 pound, 510 Troy ounce brick of gold would be worth $762,618,810. Finally, this means that a single Fallout bottlecap would be worth $71,206
So this would mean that GatorMacheteJr paid $159,501,440.
oh god
@@gladyspenaloza7722 inflation am i right
Holy shi-
Ima gonna get those caps back quickly and totally give em back 100%
Remember: dollars aren't worth the paper and ink cost to make them, but the amount we decided
has the value of caps changed now in 2024?

I'm on the side of Sole Survivor. War doesn't change. It's always two people/groups disagreeing to the point where they assemble an army and resort to war in hopes of proving a point.
Corrin Noctis they are talking about two different aspects of war. You are right about fallout but snake is talking about the way war is fought.
Sooo, both are right?
both are right! :D
The concept of war never changes.
The way wars are fought change

joseph ferrebee , If I make a movie and say it's violence free. However after watching the movie you see someone get their eyeball stabbed. Joseph, would you then defend the movie, saying "don't say anything, since there are no specifics"?

nice one, matpat
+Nuki Atienza
It's not like they plan on going spend crazy with those bottle caps, they know they are essentially worthless, yet they still decided to give Seth a pre order anyways. I really don't see why you think they would take that back if they saw this.
Seth didn't pay 4c for his game. He surely paid way more than 60 $; you can't get bottle caps without bottles.
+Nuki Atienza It's not about the money, it's about sending a message. In this case, Seth's dedication and love for the Fallout series, and Bethesda's care for loyal gamers.
Y'know what? Those Bethesda guys are pretty cool.

"A resource like gold or silver"
But... that's platinum. Still a valuable resource (maybe more valuable than silver) but it's not silver. I expect better from you, Matpat. >.>
edit: added time stamp to what I allude to.
no silver and gold have more value according to the world
@Kevin Serrato No....Platinum is the most valuable resource in the world. Study before you say something that everyone knows.
BrickCraft9257 I have I've studied the worlds economy, trade, and the stock market, I know platinum is more valuable but it's not used as money or currency like gold and silver can be used.
I knew I wasn't the only one to notice that, I was quite suprised about that

So, in the in game world, he over paid by thousands.
However, in real life, he just got a plus 50 to barter.
yard wolf
+SirKnightHood™ it's still gonna be really damn cheap though, the game price would increase WITH the bottle caps. So it would be 100 dollars and he would be paying 8 cents etc.
In regards to caps as a currency, in a world based in the society of the late 1950's glass bottles are still the norm as plastic is obviously a thing and commonplace, but it's less practicality and more just because they can, it's an aesthetic thing. Howeeeeever. We use cans instead. So I think in the event of nuclear war or other world ending event the tabs on top of cans would be the currency of choice being as bottle caps are pretty rare and cans, unlike in the Fallout world where bottles don't have plastic lids and are again, glass, and cans are rare. Ever find a drink can in Fallout? No! Just bean tins and soup! In our world though we use cans over bottles (for the most part) so yes, again, finally, the tabs on cans are valuable, keep them in case coronavirus kills us all.
Everyone gangsta until the Corona develops mutant syotoms
Well their world was running out of oil, which plastic comes from. Could keeping glass and cardboard for packaging be due to the resource shortage?
Maybe bottle caps could be a higher currency so an amount of tabs cashed in for a few bottle caps
100 tabs>10 caps
MAY PAT YOU DUN GOOFED. At 5:00 you had platinum instead of silver.

Matpat, could you maybe put the metric system along the American system? It helps worldwide viewers that actually have a logical system.
Thank you!
You had a good request, but then you ruined it.
FancyDandin You know, I'm a little pissed that you're dissing our system... but you're actually right.
let's not call it the American system, since the empirical system is originally from (if I remember correctly) England.
Let me says this now, the metric is NOT more accurate...it's just more popular due to conquest by Napoleon Bonepart who took it throughout Europe, whom owned A LOT of territories throughout the world.
The metric system was more useful for science and engineering since it uses a base ten system, but the emperical system is actually bases on real things. 1 foot was the actual length of a rulers foot (also the reason we call rulers "rulers".) #merica
I'm mexican, I have used the metric system all my life. But to understand the Imperial system only takes someone with a "logical system" my friend.
Who’s watching in 2077
I thought it was a new theory and was shocked when I heard Matpats voice
5:37 There is literally a cap counterfeiting shack in Fallout: New Vegas
Yeah and in the Sunset Sarsaparilla factory theres a cap making machine which the Alice McLafferty tells you to destroy. That might be the one your talking about.
CM HW Yeah And you can’t even spend the counterfeit caps, so I just have a bunch of those stuck in my inventory. When I try to drop them it says “You cannot remove quest items from your inventory.”
You can also get a cap counterfeiting mod in fallout 4
Yep but the contorfet caps do have a value of zero maybe it isn’t exact enough
If you talk to Alice she tells you that while people do try to counterfeit caps it’s extremely inefficient to do so, she say because of time and energy to get it so people won’t be able to tell it’s a fake right off the back. Which is why your not able to spend the counterfeit caps you get at the shack, everyone in the waste can tell they’re fake and also helps to explain her concerns over the bottle press, unlike the counterfeit caps the press is an actual threat to business.
welp time to save up caps for fallout 5

The Shadow Triad He forgot the 10% talking about the comment section.
GT has clearly never spent any time as a commodities trader - this entire video revolves around the premise that gold is equally valued in the fallout universe... just because gold is highly valued, it is almost certainly not as valuable as it is now. Time to get nerdy...
1) Given you rarely see gold in the rest of the world, the demand for gold as a commodity is far lower (indeed, it may not even be a commodity anymore) - thus the price is almost certainly far lower
2) Given there is a finite supply of bottlecaps (no more can be mined, and there is no central bank to increase liquidity), inflation can pretty much be factored out. Gold prices are heavily linked to inflation.
3) Since there is no active civil judicial system, we can pretty much assume that contract law isn't robust, and thus there are no open exchanges for corporate stock or bonds, thus the value of gold as a safe haven from high volatility is moot
4) Again, since no central bank and no meaningful contract law, the lack of banks and thus regular interest rates (and the fact that far fewer people are probably concerned with loans vs. simply surviving), growth is hampered, thus gold won't appreciate like it would in a fully industrialized society
So really, only private physical supply and demand would be driving gold prices! And again, we only see gold in a few places with a few people, implying the price is not comparable. Thus, using gold as the litmus test is FUCKING STUPID.
A far better method would be to find an inelastic commodity that would still be equally demanded in the future - bullets or cast iron, perhaps?
THEORISTS UNITE AND LIKE THIS COMMENT SO WE CAN LAUGH AT MATT WHEN HE SEES IT
Oi man
you're new here, aren't you
Higgins2001 But how do you explain that to people in a reasonable amount of time while keeping it interesting and then relate it to a currency that people understand the value of? Comparing it to gold makes for an interesting video that people understand. Not to mention it avoids needing a lengthy explanation of economic theory prior to actually getting to the theory. Plus, every Game Theory video hinges on some assumption that if false would cause the whole thing to be wrong. It isn't about being correct so much as coming up with a correct enough theory that is fun to think about.
Golds worth in the DLC dead money. Sorry buddy.
***** We must take into account that, just as there are no factories to create bottlecaps, there would be no factories to build rifles. Meaning they too would be in finite supply. Keep further in mind that this is a post-apocalypse, meaning functioning firearms would always be in high demand.
Dang i gonna miss these videos😔
"When are you posting a new FNAF theory"
*hangs up*
So sad. Fallout gets less views then Fnaf.
Logic:
Bad Games (Well ok not bad but not very good) with big fanbase = MORE VIEWS
Great Games with Small Fanbase = Little views :(
Tom the Noscoper Fallout has a small fanbase? HA!
Or maybe its just only some fallout fans like Game theory
***** I am pretty sure they only do rule 34 and never even play the game.
Implying FNaF is good
Tom the Noscoper in all honesty. its a different kind of game. i havent seen any kind of game similar and have as deep of a story as fnaf ( all at once, im not saying FO doesnt have a deep story, this is just new. ) BUT the thing in MY opinion that ruined this game, were all the kids who couldnt get theories noticed and started roleplaying AS the characters in chat saying they were god.
When you ask GT if he was scammed
*Well yes, but actually no*
See you later mat😭
The use of caps in fallout proves that currency does not derive its value from backing by material assets, but from its utility as a means to facilitate trade.
i wonder if gatormachettyjr ever got his caps back
T0XIC SLAYER517 nope, he really paid 4¢ in caps for the game

why didn't you simply calculate the price of the caps using the pre war money and inflation as base?

Screw school! Just watch Game Theory! You'll learn more from over analyzing video games than doing homework
Proto Moltres yah
Proto Moltres and film theory
RetroMelodies this is actually very true 😀
RetroMelodies
Ikr XD
RetroMelodies Exactly oh lord
One of my friends who missed the pip-boy in real life built his own. He built-in a phone for the interface, and did a lot of design work to make it uber-realistic. He even made the turning knobs do stuff.
He needs to post a video of it I want to see it
An easier way to work it out is using the pre war money, you can sell it for 8 caps meaning 1 USD = 8 Caps
I'm no metallurgist but at 5:00 i think that you have gold and platinum pictured, not gold and silver. You can tell by the subtleties in the colour, the shape of the ingot, and the fact that is has "PLAT" stamped into it
Kyle A So does it affect the theory no it does not
luciano jimenez correct! The theory is unaffected
luciano jimenez Why so aggressive? Was obviously meant just to be humorous not a real complaint.
idk but I think plat is short for plata which is Spanish for silver
bob bob than I may be mistaken. My high school Spanish class did not cover precious metals, thus i am ignorant in that area, less so now due to you, now you have brought up that point
I'd pay 4 grand for Fallout 4.
+RJ M Why not just 60...
+NoLeGiT 60 grand is way too much
Ned Flanders I meant 60 dollars...
Where's that picture from, you know your profile pic
+Alex bradbury No-Face from Spirited Away
Came for the Fallout. Teared up to hear Matt again.
1:25 when he said "8 years" I had to look at the video because for me CZcams says it was 8 years ago that this video was Uploaded. (Needless to say it freaked me out the timing 😂)
Watching this in January 2024 and saw it was actually uploaded in August 2015 so for me it's closer to 8 and a half but that was funny 🤣
When did this fan base become a bunch of 5 year olds?
EDIT: okay, I didn't mean to offend anyone who likes FNAF videos, but it says something when half of the comments probably didn't watch this video that matpat put a lot of work into and just spammed in the comments about the video they want. I probably made things worse by the way I said it originally...
Coming from the person with "EPIC LOL FACE HAHAHAHA"
Ya kinda walked into that one ryan.
That's what I thought when the bronys invaded TF2
Uhm, right when you posted this comment.
Bronies didn't "invade" tf2. Just because you were on servers with bronies doesn't mean that they are everywhere.
