Okay, I get that achievements that can be pretty demanding sometimes (looks at Super Meat Boy), but that's ridiculous, lol.
We want F-Zero, We want F-Zero, We want F-Zero, We want F-Zero, We want F-Zero, We want F-Zero, We want F-Zero, We want F-Zero, We want F-Zero, We want F-Zero.

Is Andre the guy with dorky voice who disliked BotW's DLC? I agreed with him on that stance btw

Before we know it, sites like AchievementLotto will spring up and all the kids will be gambling their money away.

Now I'm against achievements again. Thanks Andre.

Pretty bad logic. Gambling is spending money to get more money back while achievements is something you work for in a game to get it.

Nor do you, apparently, as Andre didn't directly say the two were the same thing. The OP is greatly distorting what he actually said.

And Andre also clarified multiple times he was fine with achievements existing, despite his personal dislike of them

I'm not a fan of achievements but I don't care as long as the additions don't start to slow down the OS. The OS on my PS4 lags frequently. I adore the zippiness of the Switch OS.

I watched the entire thing yesterday. He didn't equate it to gambling; he was pointing out that they both have the potential to appeal to addictive tendencies, but he never said they were the same thing from a user perspective

Emphases on "Like." Not the same thing as "They're exactly the same." 

Do you disagree that achievements can be addictive?

There's a big difference between "Like being addicted to <blank>" and "It's like <blank>". One compares addiction, the other compares the actual activity.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Although I dont know what he means by gambling. 
    I dont care either way, I'm not gonna go out of my way to get every single achievement as I feel some of them are just dumb and time consuming like GearsOfWar "Seriously" achievements. 

    I used to like them when playing the 360 but the less I have time to play it makes no difference for me. I just enjoy the game until I want to play something else

    Okay.... *watches video*


    He says that its addicting and you're not getting any long-lasting value, sorta like gambling. You feel like its fun when its actually a waste of time. Sometimes it takes away from a game and it can hurt pacing. 
    Not quoted word to word, but he said something like that. 
    The time is 22:09.

    He doesn't care for achievements, but he does say it should be optional, it should be able to be turned off, hope game developers aren't forced to add them, and hope its done right. Some ideas includes maybe adding home screen stickers.
