Both above posts are really good, and I think that's the way we should go forward. Also bump up the timeline to near 2100 to make the technological leap more believable.

With Halliday, what do we think about keeping him the same age? Future medical tech should make someone living to 110 more normal than it is, so he dies of old age instead of cancer. This will keep the 80s nostalgia as actual nostalgia instead of obsession over something he never lived.

This makes more sense. With unlimited wealth he should be able to extend his life
