You are the first person I hear that seems to care about that.
- gs17 10mo agoI care about it a little, not comparing with friends, but I do like the "X% of players" stats.
- tymscar 10mo agoIts one of the main reasons why I buy on steam. Makes games much more engaging, especially for me because I prefer hard action games with little to no story.
- Shacklz 10mo agoI typically think of myself (and try to act like) a rather rational person. The amount of hours of my life that I've done silly, mindless and occasionally annoying things because some Steam achievement required it is something I can't quite square with that. There's something oddly satisfying about getting them. It's certainly not a primary purchase decision factor but I've not bought games because they did not come with steam achievements.
- rkomorn 10mo agoThis is yet another reminder for me that the world is full of different people. I view achievements as one of the most annoying developments in games (and unfortunately some productivity software these days, in the shape of "badges"). They're yet another gamified growth/engagement pattern to contend with in life.
- slfnflctd 10mo agoI can take them or leave them, but maybe because I don't care much I feel like I get net enjoyment from them. Especially the funny ones (e.g. dying in an unusual way).
