http://steamcommunity.com/app/321150/discussions/0/616189106655923744/ I found this post on the Steam forums. It says that 5 achievements of the game Melissa K. and the Heart of Gold Collectors Edition were broken since 2014. Those are: "At Your Own Pace" (most achievers) http://metagamerscore.com/achievement/254242 "Brainiac" http://metagamerscore.com/achievement/254247 "Soap Master" http://metagamerscore.com/achievement/254241 "Cinematographer" http://metagamerscore.com/achievement/254243 "Quick Collector". http://metagamerscore.com/achievement/254246 They have only unlocked ingame. Because of that it was still possible to get the "The Enlightened One". Since 15th December 2016 the 6 achievements are deleted. So even the still working one was removed, which is the only one with an explanation why it was possible (including for me) to unlock it. Now to the question. Does it mean that everyone listed on the above 5 broken achievements is a cheater, or were the achievements fixed in 2016 before the removal? |

Steam has changed how they report offline achievements, so it is possible that those achievements were in fact earned before 2014, but got a time-stamp at 2016 due to the clients staying offline, or not starting the game or something like that. It could also be cheating, but it is certainly not conclusive evidence on it's own. |

The achievements were broken upon the release of the game (September 19th 2014) and never fixed. The dev removed them because they were not able to fix them and players said they would be fine with removal if fixing wasn't an option. Outside of the Enlightened One, which did work despite the 5 broken achievements, anyone who unlocked those on Steam used SAM. They could be unlocked in game, but not on Steam, which was why the Enlightened One did still work. Here's a forum post reporting the issue: http://steamcommunity.com/app/321150/discussions/0/616189106655923744/ I also can personally attest to it since I bought the game when it was released. |

Thanks. I think this evidence is very compelling - so I banned them all. |
