I actually agree with you though there is one side-benifit, on 360 the achievements allow developers to figure out how far players progressed in the game, leading to all kinds of interesting stats and the unavoidable follow=up discussions.
Interesting, I thought they were basically what Raze said and useless. Would there be any way the PC version of the game to send you achievement reports similar to what X-box does? I'm sure one thing a game developer always wonders is how many finish the game. Or how many will actually try to unlock and find every secret.
It would be nice on our signatures if that be possible.
