@KingWilly: Well, I gave a situation... Quitting right after a death, which is something I do all the time in games. Or maybe power outages, which is also not uncommon. How do Demon's Souls and Dark Souls do it, if the games save all the damn time? I've certainly quit in the middle of an autosave there, and I have never lost more than a minute of progress. I don't know a thing about saves, but quitting at death is a common thing for me and I've never, ever dealt with a corrupt save (especially one that just disappears completely - no trace of it on my hard drive). There's got to be some way for the developers to get around it.
In any event, I think we can all agree that it is a shitty thing that people can lose their saves so easily. Can't we?
yeah, it is shitty. BUT they do warn you, don't they? (Yo, hey dude when you see this flashing star/rotating wheel/other various autosave emblems, DO NOT power off the system.) Most games have that because I mean, that's all they can really do until a solution is found to not corrupt save files.
