My trophy count, while modest compared to many, still represents years of work and a lot of money, it'd be hard for me to not want to continue working on it. Obviously ahievements dont matter to everyone though, and it's probably a moot point to a lot of people haha |
It's definitelty a moot point to me, but it would be silly for me to dismiss it's resonance. Apple is able to form strong account-based relationships without achivements though, so I think Nintendo is veering closer to that with their rewards program.
Though it would be cool if playing games earned you Platinum Points that acted as achievements, it would only resonate with people if it was open to third party devs, which I highly doubt will happen. Never say never, though.
