They’ve had achievements for over two years… I swear all the anti epic crowd knows nothing about what their launcher is like at this point and just keep repeating what they read back when it launched… Just like the Steam boycotters back in the early 2000s

Are you serious? Obviously people don’t care about achievements on a platform that has almost no community-related functionality.

The person I was replying to said there’s no achievements on EGS, I showed them the proof that achievements are supported and they’re more mandatory.
I don’t care at all about community shit on Steam and consider all of it to be bloat, I still love the challenge from achievements.

I see. Still, I can see that for many people achievements with no value are no better than their absence. Platform provides value, and for now only steam provides a lot of it with almost each purchase.

I’m working to bet all I own that most Steam users don’t care about their profile or people seeing the achievements they got.

What has community got to do with achievements? My Steam profile is entirely private, the achievements are for me.

My profile is also not public but it’s visible to friends. Also I can make it public when I want.

Fair, but my point is that plenty of people care about achievements without any community integration
