    I can agree. I think it also has a bit to do with the “bigger number, better person” mentality. A lot of games use this to get players hooked on mechanics, like damage for example. It’s always fun to go from 2 damage per hit to 200 damage per hit. Nobody wants their damage to go down, it should only go up. Having your damage go down feels bad.
