Allowing developers to have more control over their own games, rather than forcing them into a cookie-cutter lazy "reward" system? Terrible idea, Nintendo! What are you thinking?! Don't you know achievements are the only raison to play games??

ok I saw this comment being thrown around a few times now

 

who 'forces' devs to put achievements exactly?

Right now, trophies are mandatory for PS3 games (http://www.gamespot.com/news/ps3-trophies-mandatory-in-2009-6201444) so I guess the answer to your question would be Sony.
