I only play single player games, but couldn't care less about achievements. It is all about exploration, story, game mechanics and modding for me.
People treat achievements as if they are a status symbol. I mean sure, if you don't know what else to do in a game, they can give you some goal, but IMO the game itself should encourage you to reach the goal, not some external badge. The experience doing the task should be the reward in of itself.
Achievement unlocked! You've completed the tutorial!
What's even funnier is "14.39% of players have gotten this far before uninstalling the game and forgetting about it forever"
Achievement unlocked! You opened the game!
I feel like even that would have only like a 60% achievement rate.
