All people want to be recognized and respected by what they feel they master, and this is no special case. If you're got an A++ and worked really hard in order to gain it, you'd be quite upset if noone really cared. Say you showed it to your mom, and she didn't care or didn't react the way you were hoping her to react, then that achievement of gaining that A++ feels way lower than if she had praised you. Same applies for all things.
It still doesn't diminish their accomplishment in any way. If they want people to know that they did it the hard way, they can brag all they want. They'll either be ignored or get the pat on the back that they desire, but this is very narcissistic and not everyone is this way. Reading opeth's last post I empathise with his plea a little more because his isn't just about wanting to be recognised but to be able to do things that everyone should be able to do.
Also, a parent ignoring your paper will (or should, really) have a lot more profound of an impact than not getting the credit you desire from a video game. I know first hand that it hurts to get shut down when you've worked hard on something in the game (I blew up like a baby when someone outdid me in the monster book competition) but it's not something worth dwelling on or caring about like your parent not caring would be. Credit from strangers is far less important than credit from someone who's supposed to care about and encourage you.
