Xbox achievements
Is it that difficult to integrate xbox achievements into steam games? There are so many that lack them on steam but have them on xbox including this title...

Yes, since there are achievements in the other ports of the game, I too don't see why they haven't brought them also in the Steam version.

Next you'll be asking for playstation trophies to unlock too!

Simply put, you get achievements/trophies for the platform that you are playing on. Just because Steam decided that the award was also called achievements doesn't mean that it is the same as xbox. They are not and will not be linked.

WHAAAAT!!? you mean I cant get trophies playing on steam?

No ♥♥♥♥. Thats not what I'm saying. I'm saying that consoles have the achievements and steam is the predominent PC games marketplace and should receive the same treatment. Thanks for being obvious though.

That still doesn't make sense. Why should Steam games give you XBox achievements? You're not buying the games on a Microsoft platform. Even Games with Gold games that were transfered to Steam had the achievements/XBox link stripped from them (i.e. Dark Souls Prepare to Die).

If you're saying that just because Steam is the predominant place to buy games so it should unlock XBox achievements for games that also exist on XBox it's not going to happen because it's not purchased from the Microsoft Store. They are not going to make a game that unlocks "achievements" for multiple platforms all at once.

Microsoft wants their cut of the sale of the games too. Steam already takes like 30%. If you involve all parties, no one will make any money.

you dont get it and your just arguing for the sake of it. Again I know I'm not on Microsoft Store, but if you game on PC you most likely have a Windows computer if that helps you.

Anyways, the achievements are the same across all platforms they just havent integrated them into steam because TellTale apparently don't care to give their older games on steam some love like Back to the Future got on PS4 for example.

You don't understand. It's all about money. If the devs want their game to access a party's platform, they need to pay. Steam takes 30% + taxes. Microsoft charges something too to access their system. The devs wouldn't make anything if they sold 1 game that accessed everything. Each game is separate depending on platform. It doesn't matter that the achievement title is the same across platforms.

Bottom line, buy the game for the platform you want achievements on because that's the only way you will get the game. If you produce your own game and sell it from your own website, you won't be able to put XBox, Steam or any other achievements in it unless you are able to sell the game on their platform.

The only time this changes is, for example, Minecraft. Every platform, except Playstation, will pop XBox achievements because Microsoft wanted it that way and they own the game/studio.
