The Big Question: Do You Care About Achievements/Trophies?

Once upon a time I actually, tragically, cared about my achievement points. I was in some sort of weird race with my brother to get to 20,000 and I actually played certain games with the intent of scoring points. Nowadays? Achievements are just a weird thing that pop up on my screen every now and then.

Do you still care about achievements? Did you ever care about Trophies?

At one point I actually cited achievement points as a reason for playing games on the Xbox 360 instead of my PlayStation 3. What the hell was wrong with me?

Nowadays I’ve done a complete flip. Not only do I not care about trophies and achievement points, they sort of annoy me. Particularly when they pop up onscreen during pivotal moments in a game or during an important cut-scene. I keep forgetting to turn off the notifications. Urgh.

Anyway, question of the day: do you still care about achievements or trophies?
