I view trophies as collectibles, such as trading cards or comics, but they're digital and have no monetary value. As with any collectible, it's a personal preference. I get why people don't bother with them, but there must be enough that do since every video game platform available generally seems to have an achievement system of some sort. Me personally, I don't play a game specifically for trophies, and I don't try to attain every trophy in every game I play. However, I do like getting all the trophies for the games I really enjoy, if attainable (if the trophies are beyond my skill level or too time consuming due to grinding, I'll pass).  But for most of the times, it's extra icing on a cake for a game I'm enjoying. An extra little challenge or objective to keep me playing that game while other games in my library are waiting to be played.  I kept going back on and off to The Pinball Hall of Fame:The Williams Collection on the PS3 for 2 years trying to unlock the gold Williams Challenge trophy. I did it because I enjoyed that game and I wanted to beat that challenge, even though I kept choking on Medieval Madness, the 2nd to last table. And I have the visual representation of finally accomplishing that goal.  Stupid, probably. But it was fun and memorable. For games like SPA and TPA that don't have working Friends Leaderboards (3 years running on TPA), trophies can be a visual representation on checking your progress against friends when trying to beat table goals, when the trophies are done correctly. I'm sorry if I'm a little incoherent in my trophy explanation, I'm exhausted. But long story short, a lot of times that little extra incentive brings me a little more enjoyment out of a game I'm already having fun with anyways.</blockquote>
