Since it is actually possible to unlock every achievements of a game at the same time without cheating (if you unlocked them offline, they will all be considered unlocked when you next go online, at the exact same time), we can't really use that. Using tiers once again to simplify calculations.īut then, there are the cheaters. This issue could be fixed by changing the total value of a game achievements depending on the average time it takes to complete it.

Of course with bonus points when you get all of them to further increase the reward for actually completing a game.īut while that does address the issue of the uneven number of achievements among games, it does not address the issues of games with achievements that are too easy too unlock (some games takes minutes to complete at 100%, by design). I think adding a score to achievements based on the total number of achievements within the game and their difficulty (using for example a tier system, like bronze, silver, gold and platinium ones), so that every game contains the same amount of score and harder achievements are more rewarding, could be a good start. I can't say for certain whether Valve wants to follow the Kano model as an application for their platform, but I would like to think that it is in fact a very widely adapted model out there for a lot of different companies. It explains how certain types of features that are implemented, often based on customer (un)expectation nonetheless, can result in varying quantities of customer satisfaction.Īs they would have it, implementing something that nobody expected but actually turns out to be a generally well received feature is in fact one of the the most rapid and rewarding boosts to customer satisfaction that exist.

(This is a suggestion for you not a derogatory response in any way.) I'm pretty sure more people are interested in the achievements than profile frames.I think you should read a bit about the Kano model to perhaps understand their decision. How many people asked for animated avatar frames? I didn't even know I wanted those like I do now.
