TheDarkKratos Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Remember when you last earned a trophy on a game you were trying out for the very first time, only to realize that it wasn't something you wanted on your profile. Now you have those one or two trophies, you're stuck with them forever. Should Sony implement an option where-by you can not only delete trophies off your profile, but also give us the option to disable trophies when first trying/playing a game, so as not to earn them? I'm sure there are many players stuck with games they can't or don't want to finish. Or servers have gone down, and you are unable to complete a game. Since trophy-hunting is a big deal these days, I'm sure Sony could introduce such a feature. I saw someone mention this idea on Reddit about 9 years ago. I think it's a great idea. But naturally, it will never happen. They'd rather add more emo's to DM's🤣 Edited October 21, 2023 by TheDarkKratos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakk55 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 The problem with that is that it could lead to people getting their trophies deleted by hackers or someone who had access to their PSN. I suppose it's possible for them to put a percentage cap, like 15% for people to still delete it after playing it for a bit. If a delete option for a 100% trophy list is implemented, it would need a verification system of some kind to make sure that it isn't a hacker or malicious action.

yowzagabowza Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Just make an alt account for testing games. This issue has been solved a hundred years ago. As for deleting previously earned trophies, that will likely never happen as they were not designed to be deleted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burritoprime Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Hiding games is Sony answer to this question, I sincerely doubt they will ever do something different, ever since I stopped caring what others might think I started loving my profile way more, happy to not have to look at semi-empty list from games I don't even own anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sepheroithisgod Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I think deleting games from a profile would be a good addition for a variety of reasons. So many people just say make an alt account, but that's just a band-aid for the problem. You make an extra account because you know you can't delete it. Being able to do everything from a single account makes the most sense to me. Having more control over your account is always a better option. That said, I doubt it ever happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got a few days to delete trophies earned and also passwords, 2 spep verification, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EqualityEarth Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 The ability to delete trophies? Then there would be no point to the flagging system 🤦♂️ Get flagged, just delete the game(s). As with many desired options, only trophy hunters would want this, not any of the mostly casual players who are behind most of the game and console sales.

Hitman_Spinksy1 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 You could also have a timed trial version/demo for any game you have in where trophies are deactivated. That way you don't need to delete anything or someone able to completely fuck your account over. Would probably be way too much work and require work from actual devs of said games to ever be implemented but I think that's the route to go rather than delete stuff.

Popular Post DrBloodmoney Posted October 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2023 Maybe, instead, people could just stop looking at a low percentage game on someone’s profile - or a hidden game - as some sort of an atrocity. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanolt Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Having low percentages it's ok. Trophy hunting should be fun, not an obligation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) I would say yes, but there would have to be certain restrictions i.e. paid service seeing as it involves messing about with data stored on servers, no more than 10% complete or something else low, limited use over a certain period of time or three times lifetime total per account etc. to help stop people taking complete advantage and messing things up. Sly could probably also write into the site that flags stick even if the reported trophies are deleted so cheaters can't take the piss. It probably won't happen and I can deal with having two games I don't want on my profile anyway and just hiding them.

Now there's an idea. I never considered that as a potential option. I could see the uses for people who never play games they can't/don't plan to 100%. Just shut it all off and play it like an old retro game with no achievements. I could get behind this, yeah. Outright deleting trophies isn't going to happen, though, as the PSN currently stands.

ObsiEez Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 No, no, no, no, & absolutely no. This topic has already been beat to hell & back with both sides giving their opinions and honestly, the cons just outweigh the pros. If you're that upset about an unfinished game on your profile then just finish it. If you don't want to finish it, then don't finish it. No one is forcing you to. Stop treating trophy hunting like a job instead of a hobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCP3953 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Or you can do the blank profile techinque if youre that worried about not liking a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauersack Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 This comes up every few weeks or so. My stance is that I would not mind having that feature, and I get why people want it even if I likely would not use it myself, but as others mentioned there are downsides and most importantly risks involved that undeniably outweigh the very subjective benefits for pretty much anyone.

jgm4789 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Id be open for an option to allow certain trophy lists not to be synced when you first start the game and will keep asking you each time you start the game and allowing those lists to be deleted but once you say yes and allow it to sync its forever on your profile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Beyondthegrave07 Posted October 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Yeah, this has been debated to death on the forums. We don't need another thread on this. Locking... And I'm not doing this to be facetious. This is just a really common topic discussed and the topic could have easily been found with the search function.
