Implementation probably. Checkpoints are easy because you don't have to save the entire game state, just the progression.
Yeah, good point and that's a valid reason I suppose.
It's still very nice when you have more flexibility.
Wish PC games could implement something like the xbox quick resume or something.
That's already a thing on the steam deck and it works with almost any game.
Microsoft could implement it for Windows too, but people will want still use their computer when pausing a game so it's a lot harder to do.
Wonder is Valve could implement that on windows as well?
Iirc they are working to integrate it into the Steam client on desktop wherever possible (and to try to allow for cloud syncing the game state between devices.) Not sure how it's been going but iirc it was never going to be made available until after the UI update (which came out quite recently.)
That would be awesome, I hope they can do it!
