Pet peeve, games that won't let you save (self.gaming)

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?

Omg remember games that didn't have saving but had a code you had to write down on physical paper to get back to where you were?

Very much so! For the longest time I had a xerox of some gaming magazine with all the save codes for Lemmings!
