Would you delete a trophy list if Sony allowed it?

[Conor]

It could happen but because it would involve fiddling with the servers it would be a paid service and might even require you to go offline for a while which could be more trouble than it's worth. But hey since Sony love to monetize things and the trophy community is sizeable I could see it happen down the road. It'll be a huge pain for the mods here.

Why?!  What for?  So people can have a fake 100% profile?  I'm proud of my entire trophy profile and all the games I have played whether I platinumed them or not.  It's an actual representation of my gaming and trophy-hunting history and of both my gaming accomplishments - the platinums I've earned - and my failings - those games that I didn't platinum for whatever reason.  Why would anyone want to be able to delete the trophies they earned?  Again, just so they can have a fake 100% profile?  Wow!  The vanity!  If it's that important to you then start a brand new profile and go for 100% completion on that.  I hope Sony never even lends a moment's thought to such a dumb idea.

Not everyone (in fact hardly anyone in the grand scale) thinks about 100% completion. Most of the people suggesting have already said they have a game or two they want to remove, not every game that’s not 100%.

Live with it.  There are games on my profile I haven't platinumed or didn't much care for, but it's my gaming history.  And you know as well as I that plenty of people would be deleting off every game they couldn't platinum or 100% just to have an all platinum or 100% profile.  It's a ridiculous idea.

 

It doesn't matter.  It'll never happen anyway.  People want a perfect profile, go start a new one.  'Nuff said.

Sure, some would, most wouldn’t.

 

You’re right in that it probably wouldn’t ever happen. I just don’t think it would be any big deal at all if it did.

You are proud of stacking the mayo game? ?

 

since you didn't read it the first time: " I hide games that I for one reason or another know I will never complete and rather not look at, I dont shoot for a 100% profile anyway I rather just not see games I know I cant plat (looking at you RTS genre) "

They are probably embarrassed of what they played and don’t want to be reminded of it when they scroll through their own trophy list.

[DrBloodmoney]

I don’t have an issue if folks want to delete stuff - but I suspect Sony wouldn’t for one simple reason:

 

Adding functionality means adding points of potential failure.

 

The occasional grumble or complaint they routinely get from people who want to be able to delete that one unobtainable game from thier profile, or that game they just couldn’t conquer, or that game they hated but earned a trophy or two, or that embarrassing shovelware they don’t want to show off…

…or whatever few games they would want to delete for whatever reason…

…is nothing compared to the shitstorm of (totally legitimate) complaints that would rain down upon them like a firehose of sewage if they added that functionality, and something went wrong with it, and it deleted some folks hard-won trophies when it wasn’t supposed to.

I think this will never come.

 

Think of all the risk like deleting a wrong Game you work hard on it and whats more worse your Trophy Milestone would be a total mess up.

 

Well Sony could avoid it if they making the delete trophys a new species like *delete trophy* and the count would be still right, but thats more or less the same than hidden trophies, so i think this will not come anytime soon.

Do you think Sony/PlayStation will introduce an option to completely delete a game information from our PSN ID, not like right now where you can ''delete'' a game only if it's a 0% or hide it from your list, but like properly delete it, so it won't show up ever again lowering your stats like you've never played it.

We could petition or protest about it forever, but Sony won't listen to us. To them, deleting trophies off the account is like saying you hate the game and refuse to commit, meaning you're throwing it in the trash and they are losing money. They know if you have a trophy you can't delete, you'll be obsessed with getting the platinum even though you hate the game, so the game devs can hit you with DLC and Sony rakes in more profits when you buy it.

 

The reason we can delete 0% trophy lists is because we haven't committed yet and can come back later. Also, if you have to make a new account, that means you give e-mail companies more money by making new e-mails for the new accounts, and Sony is probably getting a penny from those companies as well. So no, deleting incomplete trophy lists will probably never happen in our lifetimes.

 

NOTE: This is my opinion and not actual fact. I have no knowledge on the minds of Sony.

This too. I think the risk here is that you might accidentally delete a trophy list that has a platinum trophy on it, like a game which hasn't been 100% complete, and you'll lose the platinum and have to re-earn it. There's no good solution to this problem. Either commit or make a new account.

I think the only function of deleting incomplete lists that should be added is the first option - if a game's 100% or platinum is unobtainable due to server closure, the devs, before they shut it down, should pay Sony to give the option to remove the trophy list from your console. But then again, if you are that anal about 100% trophies, like I was or might still be, then you need to reconsider how you play video games. I had a 100% trophies and empty trophy advisor for 58 platinums before I ran into Minecraft. I might be able to 100% Minecraft, but it would take a lot of work and boosting to get all those DLC trophies that I can't obtain on the PS4 version due to how it requires an older version for two packs.

shit... did Sony ever fix not letting you delete your 0% from a PS5? Last I checked, you couldn't but haven't tried in awhile ? if they haven't (and even if they did fix it), I highly doubt it. 

[XOblivion100]

How do you guys deal with seeing games you’re  embarrassed of or don’t like on your trophy list if you know Playstation will most likely never give you the ability to get rid of them?

I don’t know if it was a problem more recently than this, but I deleted a couple of 0%s back in December (Vampire: Swansong and Tales of Arise; just didn’t feel the vibe, decided to come back for them later.)

[Vulpine9Tails]

I don't necessarily want to delete trophies, but I do kinda like the idea of hiding games from myself on my actual list, not just on here or from other people. Then they wouldn't actually be gone, I just wouldn't be able to see them, my compulsive brain would not be upset, and nothing is affected points/leaderboard wise or whatever.

As cliche as it might be, I have come to accept the mistakes I've made and use them as motivation to tackle challenges going forward. There are bigger mistakes in the history of trophy hunting than 3 shovelware platinums and 3 autopops.

But I like not being able to delete trophy lists if I'm being honest. I appreciate having to acknowledge and reconcile with my mistakes. It makes my accomplishments more valuable in contrast because having losses to look back on makes me so much more appreciative of the wins. Further, it makes profiles with a long-standing history of avoiding "mistakes" (however you define mistaken behavior within the trophy hunting hobby) that much cooler and more valuable. I get the appeal behind wanting one of those accounts, but I'm not personally jealous so much as I am truly impressed. I guess in short, I have learned to embrace being nothing special lol.

Nah. This was back when the console was just release but you saying that, I'm assuming you can do it now. 

[Phlegeth]

I'd like to get rid of the three games at the very bottom of my list.  Two are unplayable and the other would be too expensive.  So like maybe if they had a time requirement ontop of a low, and I mean low, like be 10% percentage.

I just accepted that I cannot do anything. I moaned about it and was a sorry sop around my house for a weak, but my friends and family told me to stop being an idiot and that there are more important thing in life, and that it's just games. They also said there is no point in worrying about things you cannot do anything about. 

 

Another thing is I have 98 plats, 15 are hidden, so only 83 visible here. So in proportions, I have way more better and proper plats including my FF, Tales, Persona and other JRPG plats over shovelware, so thinking of that helps and how I worked hard over the years for these ones. 

 

Also, I never really look at my trophy list on the playstation, and keep the games hidden otherwise. For trophy tracking I use this site. Even when I do look at it in the app, I have changed the order to alphabetical, and since those games all start with "T", they are pretty far down so unless I go out of my way I don't look. 

 

I think if you do check your list frequently, I suppose the only thing is to hide any games you don't like, and then just learning to accept that nothing can be done about them, unless you make the decision to start a new account, but depending on your achievements so far, it could be throwing out years of work

You guys are thinking the wrong way...

 

They should let us upload the trophy list manually if we want to. 

 

So you can play any game and if you cant 100% it and give up. You can just delete the Game and Profile data and the trophies will be gone. 

 

Yes! While it seemed annoying on the surface, manual syncing on the PS3 was a good thing. It gave you control of if/when you wanted to make your progress in a game public and permanent. Granted, it was a faff to have to delete your whole profile if you did decide against syncing a trophy list but that could easily have been avoided with an option to delete a trophy list before it had been uploaded to the server. Not sure this would even be possible now though as I don’t think PS5 has an offline-mode trophy list does it?

 

To answer the OP’s question though: No, I don’t think we will ever have the option to delete games over 0%. 
 

One improvement I would really like though is if I hide a game, it should be hidden for me as well and only show in a separate “hidden games” list. That goes for the games played list as well. That’s becoming a mess due to PS Stars!!

Everyone can have a 100% profile right now - I could have one in 10 minutes if I wanted.

 

1. Start new Profile
2. Buy Jumping Taco
3. Play it for 90 seconds
4. Never play another game on that profile.
