The appearance of collectibles in the game world and the game's stat tracking have nothing to do with notifications.

So the collectibles are actually removed from the game world? I guess I misread your post. In any case, I'm not sure that really changes much. It's a tired argument, I know, but "just ignore it" still applies here. I don't spend my time in Uncharted or Tomb Raider looking for collectible trinkets that do nothing to service gameplay. Their mere presence isn't detrimental.

And I'm not sure what stat tracking has to do with anything. I like games that allow me to see weird stats. That doesn't mean I give it any thought while I'm playing the game--it's just a neat gee-whiz thing once I'm done.
