Are achievements and trophies bad for gaming?
Ever since the late 2000s, achievements have become a staple in gaming. On Steam, PlayStation and Xbox there's a whole section dedicated to recording and showcasing the trophies you've amassed.
But developer Fredrik Thylander has stated he believes achievements are bad for gaming. Thylander, a gameplay designer at Ubisoft Massive, previously designed achievements for Mirror's Edge.
On Twitter, he posted the following: "Unpopular opinion: achievements/trophies have been bad for gaming. It narrows games down, it disrupts and diverts attention, and it eats resources that could have made the game better."
