Yeah I love suspend/resume on my steam deck. I definitely don't think it's stopped being an issue for me though, sometimes I want to turn the device off or if I'm playing on PC I want to quit the game and do something else or just turn it off.
It's just frustrating because saving the game is not a technical problem and hasn't been for decades, it's a design choice and I shouldn't need to lean on a technical solution to get around it. Maybe I'm just stubborn though
saves are also important for archiving and sharing game states, maybe i want to preserve this specific game state so i can relive it for the rest of my life? or i want to download a save from someone else to experience something specific they found or made
Yeah and also, sometimes (very rarely of course) I actually die ingame and need to load. I don't want to waste a bunch of time when that happens.
