Less than 24 hours ago this website exceeded 20,000 tracked games.
The # of games (a.k.a. trophy lists) would be half, if not less than that if it weren't for:
-
Platform stacking
- These don't concern me, personally.
-
Regional stacking
- A mistake in the trophy system since day one. Xbox achievements don't duplicate between countries/regions, do they?
-
Shovelware "games"
- The platinum trophy eqivalent of fast food. They're cheaper than actual games (like McDonald's pricing vs. proper dine-in restraunt pricing), demand little time and effort and playing too many of them? Well, that's gluttony.

So why hasn't this puke gone away again? Oh, I got it... SIE announcing their PS Store policy changes.
- Either that was fake news or Sony (like politicians, no matter their position on the compass, to avoid division I want to be very clear on that) made themselves look like they're doing something about it praying we're too stupid to call them out months later for making a promise but not sticking to it. Typical Jim Ryan era Sony PlayStation, ain't it?

Yeah that's understandable. I am salty i somehow deleted my ps4 save for Jedi, and thus cant autopop ps5. But really it isnt a hard platinum, I'm just lazy on it waiting for sequel. I know that kind of goes against my somewhat play for fun stance.
Even though i have series x, there's very few games for it that make me think the console is worth it. Yes game pass has saved me a few bucks, but the PS5 is my console of choice and I hate when a series is split between consoles. I think Octopath 2 isn't on xbox, but its on ps4/ps5/switch(?), whereas Octopath 1 isnt on ps4/ps5 but is on switch and xbox. So dumb.
As for gaming without achievements/trophies, while I don't ever aim for a crazy high completion %, i will say part of why i rarely use my switch is lack of reward system or achievement system (among other things). But on to topic, xbox doesnt have regional stacks that i know of, and nintendo doesn't obviously. It seems to be a trophy/sony system design flaw and it can clearly be abused by some "devs" like these jump guys.

If it weren't for reading-up on JFA's platinum demanding an end-game collectibles grab which consists of backtracking + finding your way around the world maps for hours before playing myself, I would have chosen not to auto-pop the PS5's trophies. Instead my first time playing would be on PS5, playing it again on the PS4 version a year or two later and then maybe play it a third time on the PS4 NA version after another 1-2 years have passed.
Also here's a fun fact: I first noticed the difference between 30 and 60 fps shortly after auto-popping the PS5 version's trophies whilst playing around with the photo mode for a bit (I find using it to zoom into character models and expose map/game design to be quite entertaining).
@KenjiCBZ If I've triggered anybody just know I'm not the one who should rethink how I'm enganing in my own hobby.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales PS5 platinum is now at 50% PSNP trophy rarity and is therefore uncommon. Finally!
As a frequent (and somewhat obsessive) watcher of specific common trophies dropping their percentage I couldn’t be more satisfied about this, especially since I chose to buy this title physically for PS5 over playing the objectively inferior PS4 version on my PS5 to take advantage of the game’s PS4 --> PS5 save transfer feature to auto-pop trophies. Might choose to play the full game again but on the PS4 version for its trophies (via PS Plus Extra tier subscription) before Spider-Man 2 comes out.
‘Nough said.
