Trophies and Achievements are now a customary part of the gaming landscape but in the eyes of many, they’ve sort of lost their appeal. What can developers do?
In 2020 the sheer number of game streaming subscriptions makes you wonder where you should focus your energy and money. Are you are looking for a streaming subscription to satisfy your gaming needs? Well, we put together a table overview for you to peruse and possibly see which ones you might prefer, or see why some of these are now redundant services.
Sony just needs to up its resolution and framerate and it'll be quite the service, still don't like streaming though so doesn't really matter to me.

Here's the link from the engineers themselves talking about Xcloud at Xbox London Event 2019.
"There's 2 things.. We are going to give you the games you own from the cloud or the games you've purchased in the future, and we will bring Game streaming to Xbox Game Pass so you are Free to discover and play anywhere and everywhere"

Once again, why is Xbox GamePass on this? Your comment only further proves my point.
The only game streaming services are PS Now, Stadia and GeForce Now.
Xbox Game pass, Uplay plus and Origin aren’t streaming.

A 24-year-old inhabitant of Poland has received nearly 9 thousand charges of illegal distribution of games. His idea was to buy digital versions of the games and then resell access to the account to many people. Losses he caused were valued at nearly $260,000. He pleaded guilty to all charges.
these cretins are all over ebay you search for a game key and something cheap comes up once you click on the post its actually not a game key but rather access to a account. theres no option on ebay to report them
Should be, what does not participate in digital sales (unless something changed im unaware of) so a sale like that is against there terms and conditions
I was wrong, they do allow digital items now.

But I checked and there is still a reporting tool on the mobile website at least. You have to scroll pretty far down to get to it though
not sure about that. i used to sell digital codes from blu ray movies i bought. i never used them so it seemed like a waste. i usually put them up for sale for a third of what the entire movie package cost me. the last time i tried to do this (around 2 months ago) i get message that trying to sell digital copies isn't allowed.
so true. i was always curious as to how people were allowed to do that. now i know - they aren't supposed to.
This week on the Game Deflators #podcast, John and Ryan discuss the loss of Nintendo Exclusives, Pokemon, and TemTem. Also in the gaming world, we can't forget about the Xbox and PlayStation. Microsoft is re-hiring a a marketing exec of the Xbox 360 days and the PlayStation continues to proove why it will be a force to be reckoned with this next console generation.
To round off this episode the duo tilt their Game Boys and play some Pokemon Pinball. This classic game came out in 1999 to relatively good reviews. Does it still hold up for gamers?
Trophies should unlock stuff.
[quote]the platinum trophy is essentially out of the realm of possibility. Nobody I know even bothers trying for it as we're all adults now and simply don't have that kind of time[\quote]
If you've got time to write about them on an internet blog, you've got time lol.
Most anything by Telltale games only requires you beat the story. Article fixates too much. No it doesn't take half a year per game, and yes I know you have a life, you don't have to repeat yourself.
To the point though, rewards would be nice. Bloodborne sent a code for a new wallpaper/theme. UC4 sent a congrats email at least. Some kind of trophy room on your profile would be alright, where you could prop up your faves. Maybe an avatar or points towards something?
Trophies have never lost their appeal
Yeah, one good thing I can say about FF13 is that you could unlock themes for you ps3 through trophies, I myself are quite done with going after plats
Make 'em more about the player, and less as a checklist for developers. Most companies use them as a way to see what the gamer has accomplished, as a sort of instant feedback. Get more creative.
