Pet peeve, games that won't let you save (beehaw.org)

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.

There also exist PC gamers though

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