Selling Feelings
meh.<p>&gt;PC gaming (yes thats still a thing)<p>How many successes does PC gaming need before people stop being dismissive.<p>&gt;Well, how silly must you be to carry a $5,000 handbag with far less functionality than another a fraction of the price, or wear a $10,000 watch or $200 necktie?<p>This was supposed to be the &quot;relate-able experience&quot; to help our understanding?<p>&gt;What about flying first class or staying in a five-star hotel — you can’t take either with you!<p>Those are objectively better than the cheaper alternatives. First class has features that economy does not (more leg room, faster service). Same with 5 star hotels.<p>You can&#x27;t substitute lack of features with some ill defined concept of &quot;user feeling&quot;. Marketing fluff and a polished product only get you so far.<p>Edit: people were getting real hung up on my derision of status symbols (I called them vapid). It wasn&#x27;t central to my point so I changed it.
