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?

    In my opinion, single player games without a pause function are disrespectful to the player and I’m not going to reward them with money.

    “But my game is hard! You should never be able to feel safe! Not even to pause! Because it’s hard!

    Yes, well, sometimes I have to use the toilet.

    I never thought “being able to pause the game” would be on a list of deal breakers for me, but here we are.
