Well that may encourage gamers to buy more games, but how sad is it when you buy games just to get more points. WTF, wasn't gaming about the fun of games, rather than playing have the highest score, but not in the games but on a network where no one cares about you.

This even encourages shovelware to be produced. I will never understand people who play solely to get achievements.

Well, actually if you go back to the beginning of videogaming with Arcades, THE POINT OF THOSE GAMES was to have the highest score possible. Hence why Achievements is so popular.

So people went to the Arcades and played every single game available to have their names on every machine? No. Actually most of the people focused on 1 single game and tried to be the best, before moving into a newer game. Games today are so different that your comparison makes no sense.
