Game developers need to stop

Making achievements/trophies for online modes

I cant platinum RDR2 because I dont play the online mode

Just get Starlink

I always disable trophies and achievements

partly because it's exceptionally rare to get them all due to so many being locked away to online modes I wasn't going to play anyway, and even if I did they're all permanently offline by the time I get to most games regardless

at best it's an extremely poorly handled system from all companies and any potential interest such a system could've had is reduced to nothing as a result, a complete waste of resources

a simple solution that would've at least fixed the online problem would've been to just divide online and offline trophies/achievements into two separate types that have no relation to eachother

I guess the basic idea of keeping keep wildly separate things separate for massive benefits to everyone involved is simply far too much to ask all game developers, console makers and huge international companies with thousands of people all over the world to come up with

Then fewer people play the online, which is objectively a poor business decision if you've opted to have them

They're not making them to make people "happy" either way, it's an obligation to potentially augment the game's lasting power with certain people

And in some cases, they're the primary reason people buy/rent the game

They were always a mistake considering none of the platforms prevented cheaters, and there's nothing anyone can do to prove it's always legit either

For PC online achievement isn't a problem, since online is free.
However console online achievement and trophy is a problem, since every console requires subscription.

i can't think of a time where achievements and trophies actually helped or benefited my life beyond a 5 second moment of joy when i accomplish something and i know there's a record of it somehow

i really don't think you're missing much in the long run
