make achievements mandatory in all future steam releases.

[nfnp]

At the very least punish people who publish on steam without achievements by restricting their advertising or something.

[Boblin the Goblin]

No.

Achievements are literally meaningless.

Valve isn't going to make achievements mandatory nor punish those who don't add them to their games.

WHY?

You forgot that part.

WHY?

[Crazy Tiger]

Why should they be punished? Not everybody cares about achievements.

It's fine if games have them, it's also fine if games don't have them.

[Tito Shivan]

Friendly reminder than making achievements mandatory does not translate into having good achievements.

[Nx Machina]

Valve provides the framework, developer's choice whether to add achievements or not.

That's not very realistic. Achievement aren't required. There's no way Valve is going to dictate that requirement to developers.

People who elect not to have achievements in their games did nothing wrong, and should not be punished. The malice you feel about the subject is the problem. Completely irrational and misplaced.

Valve isn’t going to punish tiny indie developers because they don’t want to put achievements into their short narrative focused game.

Achievements aren’t a necessity, if you require them though for enjoyment, then simply don’t buy games without achievements.

Also big AAA devs like Ubisoft... Far Cry 6.

It is a request that others have suggested in the past.

True. People just don’t factor in that smaller devs have way less time to spend on random stuff like achievements.

Valve and Ubisoft though, would have a wonderful business call:

Valve: “So, we’re refusing to promote any future games if you don’t create some achievements by tomorrow. Chop chop.”

Ubisoft: “D'accord. Let me just Google Epic’s business number…”

I love all sorts of trinkets and achievements, but this is just silly. It's a developer's choice, if they want that stuff or not.

Some publish their games without achievements, then add them later; others don't add them at all and never even plan for them, and that's perfectly fine.

If anything, I'd rather more games had cards (because cosmetics).

[Aachen]

Come up with your own challenges, conducts et cetera and write about ‘em.

[BJWyler]

Nope. Absolutely not. Achievements have been and should always be a meaningless feature that is solely up to the developer of a game to decide to add or not.
