You're talking about mental rewards meted out for pointless tasks. This is getting extremely close to noticing that the Emperor has no clothes. I found it to be pretty depressing, certainly.
What makes a pointless game task different from an important one? Why is collecting all of the video tapes or getting the schoolgirl uniform worthwhile, but unlocking the achievements not? |
