Reminds me of when Windows made a designated folder for game saves.
And then every dev decided to keep placing saves in the Documents folder or AppData folder
I thought this was the best thing they did. Each user would have their documents (let call it your stuff) separate from another user.
If you share a PC with someone then you would know how this was a good thing.
Even if you don’t share your PC with anyone, you don’t want your nephew to miss up your saves when he comes in the summer and his mom wants you to allow him to play.
Windows's dedicated Saved Gamed folder is within the same user-specific directories that Documents and AppData are in, and would still allow for game saves to be user-specific.
