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?

"The Achievement was born in 2005 alongside the release of the Xbox 360. They have been mandatory since release. The Trophy system released with the PS3 in 2006 and until January 2009 was not mandatory."

"Microsoft makes it mandatory that every game (except Indie Games and Xbox Originals) on the Xbox 360 has Achievements built into it."
