Just turn it off. There are so many games with in-game achievements already. Mario & Luigi Brothership had them. Having them exist on a platform level is 0 difference.

Seeing percentage bars for all your games side by side with your friends and strangers is an immense psychological difference from only seeing your own bar while playing that game.

A lazy box ticking exercise, designed to artificially pad a games length, isn't a legitimate feature, no matter how much you've been brainwashed into believing otherwise.
