They're the modern-day equivalent of a high-score board on arcade games- just there for the bragging rights.

- wccrawford 16y agoYou say that like it's a bad thing. There's been a lot of talk about 'gamification' of web sites/apps. Trophies/achievements are one of the biggest things on that list. I like them. Besides bragging rights (which I have never yet used) they also give me some clear goals that are outside the box, like collecting all the widgets, or destroying all the cameras. Things that don't actually mean anything in the context of the game, but provide addition enjoyment and playtime.
- CrazedGeek 16y agoI don't know, I used to be really into them, but I find myself actually enjoying the games more when they don't have them. It could just be the games I play have rather tedious achievements, I suppose.
