Achievements aren't a feature, they're a gimmick. They also force developers to have to make crappy game design objectives in order to accomodate them. |
No, developers are free to choose how they use achievements/trophies.
Many developers just use them for tracking how many players have reached certain areas, levels, chapters, bodycounts... these kind of achievements may be boring for the players, but can contain valuable informations for the developers for future games (which weapons/races/classes are popular or unpopular, which decisions were made in majority...)
