alt Hacker Newswell the signals are completely reversed. A playdate is $230. a PS5 is what? $600 dollars now? Playdate games range from $5-20 (and most will usually fall around $10), your typical console game will be $30-80+, before including expansion packs.
A louis Vitton bag is partially a "I'm rich with good taste" signal. Is a Playdate supposed to be an "I'm poor but have good taste" signal?
Honestly I'm reading a lot more signal from your perspective that a poor person is someone who has to settle for "only" spending a couple hundred dollars on a console.
