Hi,
I just realized that the completion percentage for PSN games that is shown on this site, does not match the one provided by PSN itself. This is because, this site calculates the percentage as 'earned trophies / total number of trophies', which does not account for the fact that different types of trophies have different values. More precisely, the distribution of points is as follows (https://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/general-games-discussion/18347-trophy-points-guide.html)
Bronze - 15
Silver - 30
Gold - 90
(Platinum - 180)
which means that earning a gold trophy should boost the completion percentage thrice as much as a bronze trophy (and the platinum trophy does not count towards the 100%).
Therefore wouldn't it be better to calculate the completion percentage of PSN games as 'total number of points of all earned trophies / total number of trophy points for the game'? This way, the completion percentage on this site would match the internal one of PSN and the one used on sites like PSNProfiles.
