Gemax, your really taking this off topic. Your rambling on stuff that has nothing to do with the game.
Africa, bugs, aids, politics... geeze.
Back to the original discussion before the derailment...
If everyone would shoot himself in the head (or take heroin or whatever)... would you try to convince me to do it as well because "everyone does it"?
It sucks, it's some stupid marketing idea from console-world (you know, nice *cough* companies as Microsoft and Sony). I agree that for really *special* things you can have achievements. But that should be it.
There is a lot to be said here with this. We have computers to keep away from console versions of the games and many people are insulted when asked if they play X-box, PlayStation or the Wii. It is great to be able to reach out to a larger audience, though Achievements is annoying in the eyes of avid PC gamers as we can see here.
Such a simple thing to remove disable or just plain hide that we don't see it.
