who else thinks it might be a cool idea for steam to give out badges (even small as 10 points) for getting all the achievements for a game?

Edit: Okay lets change this it a Zero XP badge just to look pretty and show off ;)

Sometimes there is a "legit" use, like when Batman:AC was removed and changed for Batman:AC GOTY, not all achievements moved from one game to the other. Some player just want unlock the same achievements they already have in other platforms like Xbox live or PSN. Achievements for me is a personal quest, don't care if any one else do.

Now it is possible to implement server side achievements so SAM can't help with unlocking those.

And almost no games use them, so there is little reason to mention it.

And single player games will never use.
Besides, if anyone can setup server, they can just make server that gives every achievement.

I had a theory where all badges = 1 foil card. That would be nice, but it would be after a achievement hack security buff.

Maybe only one badge for a number of perfect games that will update depending on the quantity. As the badge for the total number of purchased games...
It would be cool. And more real...
I think =)

Until they start enforcing rules against SAM and other achievement unlockers, rewards/badges for achievements will never happen. It really sucks because I do enjoy hunting achievements and a little extra bonus for completing games would be a nice incentive as well.

Yeah. Petty cheaters is why we can't have nice stuff (see achievement hunts on sales a few years ago) :(

Unfortunately it's too easy to exploit Steam achievements. Unlike on the Playstation where it works really well.

Can't you hack achievements on consoles? Hmm... then it might be the only thing that makes them not suck...

99% of games you can't hack. That 1% comprises of a few games that you can "exploit" or trick into unlocking achievements illegitimately. At least that's the case on Playstation consoles but I'm really not sure about Xbox achievements. I would assume they are pretty much the same.

I don't know about the current gen, but it was really easy to exploit and unlock achievements on x360, although M$ searched and banned some of them, is was just stupid ones that unlocked all games achievements with the same timestamp.
Steam just don't care =]

Developers make money off Steam trading cards. They don't make money off people collecting every achievement so why would they go to the effort of making a whole new badge for a feature that will only cost them money?

That still costs them money, unless you feel like doing it for them :P Unfortunately 90% of the time, it's all about the money.

"Trading Card drops are currently just tied to playtime within a game, independent of which achievements you are getting. We will definitely look into adding more rules for how cards are dropped in the future..." sounds like they have been think of doing cards drops with getting achievements, also don't see it saying never in there

besides the sam-problem,why not 3d-avatars that get decorative equipment and animation/emotes for gaining special achievements. a cow with a blue hat dancing lambada would be so great....

It would encourage people to hack in achievements with SAM, allowing them to get more booster pack drops. I actually wish getting all achievements would grant you something small, like a background or an additional steam card. That would be fine by me.

I was thinking about a badge for making good rated reviews, but i'd have plenty of ideas for badges, but it seems we are not getting any more, they are perfectly fine with them atm, when your only chance is to get a badge is to spend money in Steam... So yeah, i don't think we will get more badges.

Will be cool, no need to have XP, or just 1 XP, also it will be available after reach certain level (i.e. lvl 15). Is not a matter of "lose" money, much more XP are made from badges crafting from farming keys of games with TC like happen with L4D2, Red Orchestra 2, Sniper Elite v2, and recently PAYDAY (and many many more games i cant recall)

BTW? How many "perfect" games you have in your libraries?????
