See I hate that the game company’s lose out but some games I’d rather have a legitimate copy so I can get my achievements and shit so key resalers are the only cheap way of getting a legitimate copy of the game, Wish there was a way to differentiate between the stolen keys and non stolen keys.

What purpose do achievements serve even? Are there rewards you are after?

Achievements have only ever been annoying pop-up from my perspective.

What is the appeal?

[–] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A sense of achievement

Before I show myself out, I'll just say some use them as a progression indicator without looking up a guide while others enjoy that sweet dopamine rush.

While you're probably joking, sometimes it feels that way. (Referring to 1st sentence.)

It's a joke in that it's a pun but it's still true, in my opinion.

Honestly they are just nice to have and pretty enjoyable to try and 100% a game.
