The ability to remove achievements from your account

[Rembi]

I wish that there was a way to remove achievements from showing up on your profile. For example, if you bought one of those games that give you 5000 achievements and you wish to remove them from counting as achievements. Or say you want to reset achievements in a game if you are doing a new playthrough or something. Yes, there might be third-party applications that do this, but they can't remove them from actually showing up on your profile.

It’s an option left to developers to implement if they so choose.

Wrong, this isn't a feature full-stop. If you want to remove/add achievements, you gotta use sam.

TF2 achievements cannot be reset?


AFAIU SAM &c. cannot alter the server-side information.

Saves could also be stored on the actual game's developer side database. So even if you remove the game or the achievements from your Steam as soon as you reinstall the game the database has already recorded your achievements and places that progress back.
Could also be stored in cloud.

Wrong. The demo for 'The Stanley Parable' has an achievement that is awarded as part of a required task, that is then deleted a few seconds later. While Steam will still report the game as 100%, the individual achievement won't show as earned if you check. The ONLY known way to earn and keep the achievement is to kill the game process as soon as it's awarded since there is a delay in the game deleting it.

SAM basically uses the feather to disable an achievement, same a game can do
