Pinhead's achievements
Please, please don't make the Cenobite's Steam achievements generic. So many people use them to track their "progress" on their killer based on how many chains they've managed to land. There's thousands of people with tens of thousands of chain attacks "on record"; removing the achievements would remove the one universal way to track your skill and compare it with other Cenobite mains.
I genuinely don't see how keeping the achievements would be a "licensing issue"; they don't contain Pinhead's likeness or anything.
Can someone from the mod team please tell me if there's any chance of keeping the achievements, and if there isn't, the reason behind that? Please?

The simple reason is that they become unobtainable for everyone who doesn’t have the character.

There are already unobtainable achievements in the game, like the one where 4 survivors escape through the hatch.
I'm not sure if depriving Cenobite mains of this one important mechanic is less painful than having 1 (one) additional unobtainable achievement.-2 -
I think you’ll find that that achievement got changed as well.
There’s one that is unreasonably difficult to obtain, to be sure, but not outright impossible.

Maybe it did. I'm not sure.
In any case, I don't think 1 achievement being unobtainable is that big of a deal, compared to the alternative.-1 -
They did change it (or rather retired it, hid it, and replaced it with "The Key to Escaping"), because they don't want unobtainable achievements. I'd bet from their perspective having an achievement visible but inaccessible to all future players is worse than steam players not being able to track chain attacks.
I feel for you, but I'd prepare for it to go away one way or the other. I'd think there's about zero chance they keep it active and as is just to use as a tracking tool, but maybe I'm wrong.

If an achievement is no longer something that all players have the means to achieve, it does need to be changed I'm afraid, and whilst I understand that you and many others use this for tracking, this isn't the purpose of the achievement.

It'd be really cool if we could get a personal stats menu that lets us track things like this sometime. It'd prevent people from having to use achievements this way and open up the ability for console players to track their stats too.
