Wow, adults are actually wining about some "points"?



Sure it would be a shame but this is just ridiculous imo.

They have every right to complain.

I've been complaining about this for months. You can see them on Xbox.com but when you look at them on the console, they disappear after a while. I've had this problem since the update.

Well gaming has changed since last few generations, people play games for different reasons, and one of them is actually getting into some sort of reward system, I've heard and seen of people who play a game for hours and hours just for that. I mean its stupid imo (I only play games for the enjoyment , not for to brag about unlocking something or doing something) but you have to remember, its a business success, this idea, it even motivates people to buy more games for the sake of unlocking these achievements/trophies to increase their points , which in result makes more money to the game companies who develop the games.


Completely agree about the bolded. I just find it fascinating that these virtual points can mean so much to them lol. After all, getting the achievments is the fun part, which is why I even sometimes invent my own (such as complete Halo: Reach on legendary with no deaths and complete Metro 2033 with starting weapons, etc.)
