cs2 achievements and steam account overall % achievement completion

[karakan]

So i just noticed that with new cs2, they removed all the xx achievements that were there before. this obviously lowered my % achievement completion as well as overall quantity of achievements on my steam profile.

thought it was impossible to do that as the meta data is permanently stored on the server? steam support themselves stated multiple times to many people from here and reddit that once you start an achievement in a game it permanently gets marked/tied to your steam account. well obviously thats not the case? (anymore?)

Itd be really niceif they allowed customers or at least request support to remove achievements/game metadata from ones account for games where for example MP is dead and it no longer is possible to get achievements.

id love to remove any and all signs of me ever playing guns of icarus lmao. im dreaming of that day where valve would finally let you do that just like with cs2

it's certainly possible, Valve creates and owns the system. But that doesn't mean they'll extent it to anything other than the rare occassion like this.

What Valve very possibly doesn't want is people bothering Support and clogging up actual support with tickets for such things. So, better to simply not do it.

It's also questionable Valve would do it for games not made by them.

well yeah of course anything is possible. i just think that it doesnt take a lot of effort to do that or implement an api that lets you do that for any game. or again, request support to do that for you the same way you can delete a game from your account

I edited my post, they partly cover that.

Such things rarely have to do with needed effort, but with priority and interest in it.

well i mean if you want to lower quantity of work for support by not implementing features then its not a good sign at all haha. but yeah i get your point. again, an api such as the one used for deleting licenses from your account would be nice..

counter strike achievements have always been messed up thanks to private servers and so many version of the game.

I had seen people using SAM recently to unlock all achievements before CSGO ending, it kinda tickled me pink when I see they have now gone and we only have the one achievement, although I do believe we'll get more in the future and even possibly have the old ones reinstated.
