I always figured it was something steam shoves down devs and/or players throat, since it's a bit of a dark pattern toward buying into their ecosystem.
Otherwise I would consider many many many devs deciding achievements are not their or their game's thing.
Dev here. We decide the achievements. We have to set them up manually for ps5, xbox and steam. The idea is to give achievement hunter types more gamplay basically. Although certain game devs use achievements as a form of analytics. When you get an achievement like "Level 2 finished" that's because the devs wanted to know how many players got that far in the game.
Are achievements basically just variables like "beat_final_boss", and you expose them somehow to steam?
I’ve always been curious about this myself.
