Do you ever find yourself playing a game for hours straight just to obtain an achievement or trophy? Do you spend money on games just for their easily achievable platinum trophies? Do you sometimes question whether it's all really worth it? Whelp - I do. And I am not alone. Join Stephen as he shares his personal confessions and gaming stories, and those of other trophy whores! Together, we'll do a deep dive into what it means to have a dependency on virtual gratification, for better or for worse. Also, I'll probably cry. I do that sometimes...
