Yeah I quit trophy hunting for good midway through last year. I reached my personal goal of getting 100 plats and then just kinda lost interest, in gaming and in trophy hunting. I still play games, but only for fun and when I have time to. Trophy hunting was really fun for me for the 3 years I did it. But it took a toll on me after a while and I focused way too much on it to the point it ruined gaming for me. I just had to stop.
I still platted a game last year, and I probably will occasionally plat a game I enjoy, but I do plan to leave PS4 and upgrade to PC anyway. But even with some games I like, I just can't put myself through the grind to plat them, it just became unrewarding.
It's also the repetitiveness of it after a while. Trophy lists tend to have a lot of the same kinds of objectives and doing the same kinds of stuff over and over on different games just got old for me. "Oh wow I have to collect X number of collectibles" that kinda stuff got old for me. That was the issue with trophy hunting for me, earning trophies is fun but sometimes the boring grinds you have to go through on a game just isn't worth the reward. I would purposely avoid games because of trophies or I wouldn't play new ones cause I was playing other stuff for trophies, just isn't a cycle I care to deal with anymore.
I'm not critiquing anyone that avidly trophy hunts, I completely understand the appeal to it and there is a reward factor. But for me personally, it just became too much and I had other things I wanted to focus on. Just play games and have fun, I completely understand wanting to stop and tbh when I did stop I started to feel much better about myself. I focused on gaming a lot more than I did anything else for a while. There's no one forcing you to do it, I wish I would've known that a few years ago.
