The Devs can do this already it just needs them to add it. Valve can't change every games files.
Not sure what you mean by not legal, there is nothing illegal about SAM. Some devs don't like it, but that doesn't make it illegal.
I wouldn't expect such a feature from Valves side, they are all about putting control with the devs and publishers of the games.
However, it’s not guaranteed to work. It can occasionally break the system and leave you unable to unlock the achievements again.
It’s debatable whether Valve even care enough about the achievement system to consider a reset function.
It's not clear to me how developers can do this. They add achievements to their games, but they're for one-time unlocking, aren't they?
SAM only relocks the achievements and leaves the underlying stats intact which is what can cause issues. It’s also why a Valve tool for relocking probably wouldn’t work properly either.
A reset basically resets the triggers.
Sounds about right. But the way it's done at this moment - developers can add an option to reset achievements in the game, but they'll reset only in-game achievements, and not achivements in Steam. It should be done simultaneously, so that when I reset achievements in game - a request would be sent to Steam API to lock the achievements that has been unlocked and now they're not.
So in any case it should require some work, from Valve side, in order to make this function to work properly. Exactly what I'm trying to say - there's no perfect tool for such task at this moment, and if there was - it would certainly come in handy. At least, I think so.
1. Achievements that won't unlock because the game won't re-award an achievement that it believes was already unlocked.
2. Many games re-push all earned achievements when you run the game to make sure that all unlocked achievements are showing on your Steam account. That's why the first troubleshooting step to an achievement that didn't show on Steam is to close and restart the game.
But game devs don't read suggestions in the "Steam Suggestion" forum. If someone wants this feature for a game they would need to ask in the appropriate games forum.
Exactly. Hence post #1 and posts in 100's of other threads about this. It's down to the Devs/Pubs to do it not Valve.
