To be honest, it is quite complicated now as well with all of the proprietary software (sh.itjust.works)

Disagree. Take game saves on windows. They can be in appdata\local, appdata\roaming, documents\company-name, documents\savedgames\company-name I'm sure there are more.

Nah. 3 places.

  • Appdata subfolder
  • Documents
  • Game installation folder

Savegame folder is then placed either ina folder with game name or studio name, so easy to check all these locations within minutes.

Let's not talk about rpgmaker games tho. I've seen them do some wacky shit with gamesaves.

Edit: To make my point clearer, I disagree with person above me about their disagreement. Savegames on windows are predictable as hell. Thanks to person below for pointing out I didn't convey. :<

Yes but appdata subfolder is local, locallow or roaming so the poster above you is still correct.

Lol, appdata subfolder is already 3 different places 😂
