    The unfortunate, actual reason is that people will pay more markup on the vacuum with useless shit added than it costs to add it. Explaining why humans are like this is unfortunately a less tidy and much more disappointing endeavour.

      This is the reason I don’t get PS+.

      I see the cheapest option, and think “oh…but I don’t go online much, and thats too little value for that high price.”

      Then for a little more money you get a little more value.

      Then for a little MORE value, you get the retro games from PS1 and PS2.

      And then I realize that’s DOUBLE the cheapest option, to play games that are 20-30 years old.

      So I put 2 and 2 together, and decide this whole thing is pissing me off. Fuck it, I’ll just emulate the damn things…

        Still waters run deep.
