Speaking from experience: in many cases, they’re cliche because project managers, producers, and execs insist on writing achievement names & descriptions instead of letting the writer(s) do it.

It’s happened on almost every game I’ve worked on.

They get a kick out of having a tangible contribution to the finished product, and in most cases seem to believe they’re actually being funny and original. It’s easier to just let them have it.
