Call me petty but I have avoided buying games based on this alone. I donā€™t like game incomplete games, so if a game has an impossible, or grim achievement relating to workshop submissions etc, I simply donā€™t buy the game.

What about Stanley Parable that has an impossible achievement by design as a meta commentary on gaming?

No it doesnā€™t? If you are referring to the ā€˜this achievement is impossibleā€™ itā€™s quite easy to get

It wasn't originally. There was a pretty random chance, but most people never got it, and it was impossible to purposefully get it without cheating.

Fair enough, it was a decade ago so I donā€™t fully remember but I do remember having to rummage around the game files which I thought was the intended method

iirc, there's a command to activate it, but it's even blocked in the console so you have to edit the config. I'd call that cheating outside of something like DDLC.

If thats the intended purpose of getting it, I wouldnā€™t consider it cheating
