Why are achievements different from PC to PS4?

Told my friend that I was going for this achievement and he told me it was only 20 on PC, I was surprised and jealous at the same time. 20 and 100 are far different numbers, 100 being really difficult to do. Why are these achievements so different on PC than PS4?

I'm also curious on what the achievement is for Xbox if anyone can tell me.

    @Peanits forgot to tag you as well, was hoping I could get an answer from you! Just genuinely curious... and sad that it's 100 rather than 20.

    iirc, it used to be 100 for all systems. However, it was realized that that was a crazy ask, so it was lowered to 20. Unfortunately, Sony will only let games change an achievement if an achievement becomes literally impossible to unlock. Sucks for us unlucky souls on PS4.

    Yup, I agree. It's one of two older achievements I don't have unlocked, and I don't really expect to ever get it. Just doing the "hit two survivors from at least 15 meters away" tome challenge was a pain.

    I really wish Sony weren't such a pain about this, because once I saw how far away 24 meters is even 20 hits seems crazy. But 100?! On console?!?! Jeez.

    Sony is very controlling and demanding. One game dev revealed Sony was a PITA to deal with regarding patches and DLC. Blizzard revealed Sony didn't allow them to add trophies for holiday special events because they don't allow limited time trophies even if the events returns every year. So on PS4, no event trophies but Xbox has event achievements. When they adjusted some trophies to make them easier, Microsoft approved the change but Sony took six weeks to approve the change and only because people were complaining on social media. Sony has also dragged its feet on cross-play and cross-saves. Awesomenauts had patch drama, everyone approved it but Sony was holding it up in QA for weeks. They announced it on Twitter that PS4 would be delayed bc of Sony and people were very unhappy, so then Sony approved the patch and it went live the next day lol So I can easily believe Sony is blocking the reduction to 20 for this trophy.
