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 the reason for a lot of gameplay design decisions these days.

    Players have zero self-discipline so developers need to adjust their games so that players don’t optimize the fun out of them.
