People love hierarchy. We seek out symbols of status. That’s why huge shoulder pads and gigantic swords are ubiquitous in fantasy art. That’s why John Wick-style one-man characters are so appealing. That’s why we love fast cars, hyped sneakers, or expensive watches. And that’s why we love fancy Fortnite skins.

In a game without character levels, cosmetics, and emotes, you communicate to others that you’re not just a casual. It’s fashion. The same part of your brain that gets tickled by luxury items gets tickled by smooth skin. You want it when you see it.
