Developers are finally aware of the trophy bug

[Boni_Neto]

I find it curious that when the glitch is an exploit, the devs run like crazy to fix it, but when it's something that prevents the player from getting a trophy, they take their time before deciding if it's worth or not.

If it's a shovelware plat then wouldn't that mean the whole game is just shovelware. 

Hmm no, in my opinion. As it's been said, Stranded Deep is indeed a legitimately game, and getting the Platinum the intended way is one thing: using this bug to pop it in few seconds without playing the game at all is another.

 

Getting this platinum in few seconds with this bug is totally worthless: when looking at people's profiles and spotting it, I definitely look down upon it just like any jumping shit.

I came to the forum to see why this game is the second most highly played title this week and found the answer. It took me 52 hours to platinum, it can now be done in 3 seconds ?. I did enjoy the game though.

The devs took months to fix a trophy, i didn't expect anything else from them

[Jason-DFG]

I am honestly suprised it has not been reported sooner - because i've seen a few people gatekeeping this platinum, as if you try to do the exploit they would see it as deemed inlegit (wouldn't suprise me if the bug was reported by one of those people because it took the developers a week to find out about it).

 

I had it in my UR cabinet for about 2 days or so before people caught on, on the bug and then it dropped fairly quickly to a VR.

 

But i do feel bad for the people that have done it legit, and now it having as an autopop option ruining it's UR score.

Good, it will now give some people something worthy of being displayed in their trophy cabinet.

Not gonna lie, I have seen people having Fall Guys' Infallible Trophy in their cabinet, then I look at the date they achieved it, and it's May 14 2021. ?

Yup well, no sales are lost on a glitched trophy.

 

But many people downloaded a game for free JUST to get the platinum and instantly delete it. Well those are potential sale months or years in the future. All gone

The people who got Stranded Deep the most I guess now are the devs. lol

I had the NA stack for more than a year and it was at 1.74% rarity, I was planning to do the EU stack legitimately eventually up until this glitch was discovered, rip to both UR platinums from my collection?

I do love a free platinum but I preferred to keep the platinum as UR better, but that's all history now

This is the 3rd time I had a UR platinum achieved that become VR, looks like it's back to drawing board to accumulate back that amount yet again

I spent a good few weeks getting all Blackout trophies in black ops 4 just for those devs to hand out the trophy to everyone upon launching the game which I was never hugely concerned about.

 

If devs do anything to make trophies easier (whether intentional or not), it shouldn't matter how people got it. And to be 'looked down on' by taking advantage of a glitch/oversight is ridiculous. Such an elitist mindset. It's as if people are new to exploits and glitches. Of course you're allowed to feel a sense of pride for doing something the hard way because that feeling of achievement is what trophies is all about, but looking down on others for how they like to handle their profile is gatekeepy and a beta mentality.

 

The game's the game.

My ONLY regret is that I ONLY got the NA & EU platinum's. I also wanted the JP stack. Damn it! ?

I rmb there was a trophy in tomb raider 2013 where you need purchase all characters which took a lot grindings, somehow after getting the trophy and the platinum, the dev decided to release a patch a day later to remove one of the character which made the trophy much less grindy

If there is a bug that auto pop trophies in Witcher 3, it consider a shovelware game?

There was a glitch where you could earn the trophy for winnig 5 games in a row, which for many was a platinum stopper, in private matches. As far as I recall, nothing else could pop in private matches, so you still had to do everything else legit, including winning 30(?) games. And back then, there weren't as many modes where you could win 5 games straight without too much hassle.

 

He is implying that people glitched the trophy, yet are so proud of it they display it in their cabinet. Can't really disagree with the point. but I would have chosen different words. This is coming from someone who took advantage of that glitch BTW.

About lost sales: Does anybody know how Extra games work in terms of money for the devs/publisher? Like, do they get paid a one-time amount by Sony in advance or is their pay based on download numbers?Because I  have seen both happen in subscription models depending on who runs the service.

I don't think it was ever fully disclosed, but I imagine it's a one time fee. Just like when games are added to regular plus.

[Doylus91]

I would imagine it would be we pay you X amount to have it on Extra from X date to X date, some of it could be based on downloads over that period who knows

[GothGirlMaxine]

I know from my perspective that my video I made a week ago probably added to the exposure this viral platinum exploit gained, but hey, we can't help that the exploit existed, nor can we help the fact that people chose to take advantage of the exploit.

The JP stack wasn't updated to the version that had the exploit anyway, so the exploit was never available there.

Doing something in an easier way is one thing, being given the Platinum for doing literally nothing in few seconds/minutes without even playing the game at all is another.

 

Free to call me an elitist, but I'm also free to have my opinion on it.

The game no, of course. But if I see the Platinum achieved by autopopping it due to this glitch, then yes, to my eyes it has the same credibility of any jumping shit.

I think this is an issue of terminology here.

 

"Shovelware" is any game that has been made with little effort for a quick buck, usually of shoddy quality. It ha snothing to do with how easy or hard its trophies are and predates trophies and achievements by at least a decade, though trophies do provide a good incentive to buying shovelware, making its production more attractive.

 

A shovelware game can have a 10/10 platinum (Space Invasion might count, a simple Space Invaders clone with an almost impossible 100%) or one of the most sophisticated works ever can have a 1/10 (most visual novels are anything but shovelware, yet often have plats above 90%). It's simply not related.

That’s true, but “shovelware” has a specific meaning, and by using it incorrectly, you dampen and dilute its effectiveness as a descriptor for things that are actually shovelware.

Everyone is free to have opinions on everything, but those opinions can still be objectively wrong.

 

If I say “in my opinion, 1+1=10”, I’m free to have it…

…but everyone else is also free to point out that I’m wrong.

And yet it remains objectively not “shovelware”, by any and all definitions of the term.

 

The thing is, words have meanings, irrespective of people’s opinions.
