Even if this is not a serious thread, of course there is a link. At least 2 even.
The biggest one though is limited choice. If you can only make one choice for a gaming option you are more inclined to defend your purchase because it directly connects with your self worth. If you bought the "wrong" product not only does that mean you don't get enough bang out of your buck but it will also reflect on your poor money managing skills, which is(or at least should be) a big part of any poor person's life.
They simply cannot afford to have made a wrong purchase, literally.
That's why they're more prone to defend the product they bought to the death because their product choice reflects on them as a person. That's very easy to see with kids who don't have money on their own and need to rely on what they get. They will get a lot more attached to the things they got than a rich kid who can get anything it wants.
I wonder who the first person is to misread what I just said as "there are no rich fanboys and everyone who is poor is a loser fanboy".
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
