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?

    That’s already a thing on the steam deck and it works with almost any game.

    Microsoft could implement it for Windows too, but people will want still use their computer when pausing a game so it’s a lot harder to do.

      Wonder is Valve could implement that on windows as well?

        Iirc they are working to integrate it into the Steam client on desktop wherever possible (and to try to allow for cloud syncing the game state between devices.) Not sure how it’s been going but iirc it was never going to be made available until after the UI update (which came out quite recently.)

          That would be awesome, I hope they can do it!
