[ GAMING ][ DEGEN ECONOMY ]
The practice of deliberately playing a game specifically to unlock as many of its achievements or trophies as possible, sometimes prioritizing achievement count over enjoying the game itself.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"He's not even enjoying the game anymore, it's pure achievement hunting at this point."
LORE & ORIGIN
Grew directly out of the introduction of Xbox Live Achievements in 2005, which for the first time gave players a persistent, publicly visible score for completion-oriented play across every game.
