For the Love of Trophies | Sacred Symbols+ Episode 135

The PlayStation ecosystem received the Trophy metagame update in the Summer of 2008. And well over a decade later, Trophies are still going strong, though a lot has changed, too. First on PlayStation 3, then on Vita, and then on PS4 and PS5 (though PSP plans were abandoned), Trophies are the tethers that tie generations together, and act as a wonderful 'gaming journal' of sorts, reminding you of where you've been and when in your digital escapades. To get into why Trophies are an important and meaningful silo within the PlayStation ecosystem, I invited Brian English -- proprietor of Trophy guides galore under the famous PS4Trophies and PS5Trophies moniker -- to discuss... well... our love of this singular, endless metagame. Trophies have changed the way the two of us interact with and play games forevermore, and whether that's a good thing or bad thing, it's a thing, nonetheless. So let's discuss, shall we?
