Do some devs go overboard with trophy requirements?

The Rachet & Clank POOL SHARK trophy comes to mind.

Yeah, getting a trophy for getting eaten by a big fish is questionable at best. That's a joke trophy, meaning it's supposed to be funny.

GTA V had one like that too. Joke trophies and Easter egg trophies are fun.

You walk over the street, get hit by a car and get the ''Hit and run'' trophy.
You then recovers and walk over the street, you get the ''One foot over the road''
You then bump into a AI, you get the ''Watch out jackass'' trophy.*
You stare at the sun, you get the ''The temporal blindness''
You waited for the traffic sign to give you green light ''Patient driver'' 
You ran on red light, you get the ''Red ring of death''
You stepped upon a newspaper ''You stepped in shit''

Trophies were made to manipulate and create addictions for ensured profit's, by the time you felt you have worked to hard for these ''scores'' you will always be forced to stick with that platform or incapable of moving onto other things, or else you loose everything you have Achieved... Since it is a tool, like pretty much every item that are being sold, these things will reach no end and will always evovle and test boundaries to see if it's accepted by the crowd. People are even depriving themselves for fun due for this type of stuff, which they did admit. Making it easier to get trophies and achievement's in general, will encourage them to feel like winners and they are hooked. 

Look at smoking, it's pretty much just crap but due for the nicotine, people are pretty much forced to continue to buy that shit because they were stupid enough to begin and later regret, trying to fill that regret with another smoke...
Humans have lost it's true nature and replaced it with a feeling of emptyness, a void people try to fill with shit that cost tons, and for what? Absolutely nothing. Some people get addicted to drugs, others to shopping or in general materialism, because it makes them feel better, for a short while. 

Also, don't forget that kids these days ends up at therapy cause they can't be away from their phones one single minute without being forced to or if they are a sleep. 

 

Addiction+Materialism+Capitalism= $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, it can't work without either of them
