I\u2019ve had my account almost since launch, and it\u2019s perfect. All 100%+Platinums, all the way down. The way many of these collectible icons were obtained is in direct opposition to the trophy hunter completionist mentality. I\u2019m not starting some random crap game for a few hours to get a collectible and then staining my account with a game that I either can\u2019t get the trophies for or would take countless hours of time to 100%, especially if it\u2019s garbage I would never ordinarily play. Couple that with the limited time nature of these fomo collectibles and the fact you evidently can\u2019t delete them from your account and it\u2019s the digital equivalent of a poorly inked tattoo. It\u2019s ugly, it\u2019s not worth it, and now you\u2019re stuck with it forever.<\/p>\n<p>I am ecstatic it was removed from the PS app\u2014I use it all the time and was terrified I would accidentally hit that little flashing icon placed so precariously close to the trophy button. I breathe easier now that it got the ax.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I can\u2019t help but point out the extreme obviousness of the fact that none of this would even be an issue if platform holders gave us the option to <strong>PERMANENTLY ERASE GAMES WITH PARTIALLY COMPLETED TROPHY PERCENTAGES FROM OUR ACCOUNTS<\/strong> . I\u2019m not talking about that generic \u2018hide\u2019 option that doesn\u2019t actually remove them; I mean eradicate them from existence. There is no legitimate reason why we\u2019re restricted to being able to delete games we\u2019ve started but obtained 0% trophy completion, but not allowed to do the same and delete games at 1%-99% trophy completion.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8740969\" data-author=\"users\/321626\" data-subject=\"comments\/8740969\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8740969\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pushsquare.com\/themes\/base\/images\/avatar.svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"helloitslewis\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2025\/07\/ps-stars-program-marks-its-eventual-shut-down-with-one-last-collectible#comment8740969\">16<\/a><\/li>\n<li>helloitslewis<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-07-16T23:54:44+00:00\">12:54am<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>Total greed by Playstation.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8740970\" data-author=\"users\/349907\" data-subject=\"comments\/8740970\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8740970\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pushsquare.com\/themes\/base\/images\/avatar.svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Lowdefal\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2025\/07\/ps-stars-program-marks-its-eventual-shut-down-with-one-last-collectible#comment8740970\">17<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Lowdefal<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-07-16T23:55:51+00:00\">12:55am<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>@Balaam_ Thanks you&#8217;ve given me an excuse to tackle this.<\/p>\n<p>No one cares about your trophy hunting, the world does not revolve around you seeing 100%.
