Diluted implies they were ever worth anything. They were only created as a dopamine drip to keep customers buying their product. Using them for publicly available analytics is great. I love being able to compare the drop off rate of one game to another. Comparing how quickly players dropped of compared to, for example, Dark Souls is fun and informative.
I used to hate achievements when they first came out back in the day and just thought they were dumb as hell. Surprisingly, as I’ve gotten older, I appreciate them as something to do for fun.
Paradox games especially like CK3 make me play completely different each time to unlock a different achievement.
The ones I despise are achievements that have a multiplayer requirement tied to it.
