EA achievements, or lack there of...

[Kangadrew]

I cant even begin to express how disappointing it is that EA has added a plethora of games to steam with no achievements. While I understand that it is small in the grand scheme of things, it is a big driving factor towards my purchase of a game... and the lack of achievements, to me, is an incomplete game. I noticed that C&C remastered has achievements, so i am hoping that new game releases will have achievements. However, they need to add achievements to existing titles.

Where do you see ea access?

If you go to EA store page and scroll to the bottom it says EA access coming soon.

Achievements are present in these "new" EA games on PC. On Origin. I dunno whether it's easier to add Steam achievements because of this.

Couldn't imagine it would be all that difficult but what do i know.

why should EA bother with Steam achievements, you will have achievements on Origin.

why should they let a trainee and his 20 intern assistants consume $30000 worth of tax-returnable catering service to implement Steam achievements in every game?
that is not profitable and not fun.

EA has already added steam achievements to a few select steam titles, im just expressing my desire for more games to receive support. Why the hell would i care about origin? Like i have already stated i don't like having 10 different game launchers and EA knows people like steam that is why they're adding their games on steam. Not exactly sure where you came up with those numbers though...

which of those "few select titles" were released after 2013 on Steam?
(n)one. i would exclude c&c, the people that did the remaster did not leave Steam for 7+ years. they released games on their own in the meantime.

but EA left Steam because as they couldn't monetize their mtx and additional content around Steam. this was partitially lifted in the meantime.

meanwhile Ubisoft already does since years what EA now does.
their client as permanent DRM on a Steam release. and it is not just DRM, it is also their emergency exit.
Ubisoft can pack up most their crap here and drag you over to Uplay without any legal repercussion and they already contemplated doing that when they made deals with Epic.

those numbers? normal for a 50-100 people team for a day of catering and such dull and unfun tasks are not done by paid employees, those are done by underpaid trainees and interns.

EA does also not care what is popular, they care what is profitable and Steam achievements are not profitable. Steam trading cards are profitable, so they put that one trainee and his 20 intern assistants to crop some images for a day. that also does not require to change the game code.

and that is why every single newly released EA game on Steam has trading cards but no achievements.

cheers.

EA & steam is like Epic Games & steam it a company dispute thing. Now with EA Access which is lesser then Origin Access(more), only limit is less achievements & dlcs on steam. Ya alot EA games to steam but with limits probbly due to steam plugin operates different then origin plugin. Epic games has it only & want its to keep official to that no different then Origin. Me am Origin Access Premier and not gonna bother with EA Access on steam, however will buy some EA games. Example Sims 3 runs better on steam then Origin(more clutter & load for sims 3 unless u are picky & careful) i hear.:Diplomat:

How is EA Access on steam less than Origin Access on Origin? Ive been wondering if theres a difference but never found anything.

Like i said in my original post, i understand if achievements are not important to you. This post does not represent every person, only my beliefs. I did not make this post to argue with everybody as to whether or not achievements are necessary. If you do not agree with me move on, I am only expressing my feelings towards the matter.

You're making a claim that a game is incomplete because a publisher/dev won't implement brand new elements to a game utilizing steamworks while making sure that does screw anything up for games that aren't likely to receive any continuing maintenance. Your argument that achievements exist on console has 0 bearing for steam versions as those releases were made with the console in mind originally.

Achievements are now added to majority of EA titles. Go check if the one you play has achievements added to it.

Now I wonder if they are retro active, but the only EA game I have right now is BF5, I just feel bad for the other people who have sinked hours into a game without the achievements poping up
