People like it because there's no better alternative. The Romans liked their wine even though the quality of it is shitty compared to today.

You mean, people like it because they have the choice. They have the choice to obtain them or not; those who are not interested at all can desactivated those.

 

I find your símile to be very strange, but since we're at it, it's completely wrong. If Romans didn't like their wine, they could always resort to Greek or Germania's wine, which was higly prized. Using your same example, if Xbox/Playstation players don't like their achievements/trophy, they can always resort to disable them on the options.

If you're on Nintendo's consoles, you're stuck on the "no achievement" option, so there's really no choice to be made there; unless the software itself comes included with an achievement package of its own, like Kit Icarus.

Which was equally crappy. I have eaten and drunk many ancient food and drinks. The wine was often so poor that it was only drinkable if you watered it down extensively (75% water, 25% wine). They didn't have the technology or knowhow to produce decent wine (by today's standards).

I'll make a different analogy: I rather have no Metroid games than average Metroid games. I don't want a choice in this case. Do something amazing or don't do it at all.
