Comment on I don't think it's possible for me to complete this Steam achievement

  I mean, it’s like a hobby. If you are unlocking them with a program you’re just cheating on yourself. If you feel like you need to cheat to make yourself feel better about something that doesn’t impact anyone else, then I think you should reflect a bit on that and ask yourself why you wanted it in the first place.

  It doesn’t really harm anyone in the end. I just think achievements are used as carrots on a stick, exploiting the human psyche of “number go up = dopamine” to make the player think the game has more value than it does, or is “worth the price” because you got so many hours out of it (grinding for those last shitty achievements).

  But that’s just like, my opinion, man.

    I did it for the original Killing Floor because they had class features locked behind achievements.

    I think it’s fair for someone to want to cheat in achievements of this nature. OP put over 100 hours into this game and is only 0.1% of the way there. If I put 100 hours into a game, I would also want to fast track past these two middle fingers the devs threw in

      It’s not their progress, it’s the percentage of all the people that have access to the game: steamcommunity.com/stats/2884590/achievements
