I wish all games would just let you save whenever you want to! Why is using checkpoints and auto saves so common?

At least add a quit and save option if you want to avoid save scumming.

These days I just want to be able to squeeze in some gaming whenever I can even if it’s just quick sessions. That’s annoyingly hard in games that won’t let you save.

I wonder what the reason for this is?

    All consoles support game suspension these days. The Xbox lets you keep multiple games suspended, just use that.

        Sounds like a them problem. And to be fair, you can suspend games via Steam OS so it’s more of a windows problem.

          Pretty petty response to the hole in your grand sweeping statement left by literally millions of gamers.

          Also “to be fair” is a phrase meant to give the benefit of the doubt to the side you’re arguing against, not to reinforce your own argument.

      I do use that. I have a Series X but I play on PC as well. Some games aren’t available on xbox and sometimes the TV might be occupied or I might want to squeeze in some quick gaming while already at my desk.
