Every pc game I've ever played has the ability to Save As and name the file. Every single one. For 35 years.

All software has Open/Close/Save/Save As file options. It's a basic feature of software. Open Excel or Word and take a look.

A Save As-like feature has been asked for before. It's simple to implement (same as Save but allow for naming the file being saved) and would get tremendous use if implemented. Everyone would use it over using a simple save all the time. Everyone.

Example: save a game as Game 1.1 and start playing. Something goes wrong you just reload Game 1.1 and begin playing at the point when it was last saved. No big deal. Walls don't tumble. Nobody shrieks.

You make it sound radical when it is totally banal. It's an incredibly common software function.

What you are suggesting, Syd, is the insanity. What I am asking is perfectly reasonable.

The truly interesting part is that there is no intelligent explanation from the company as to why it feels it has to control the game file in this manner. What does the company have to gain from it? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. No upside, only downside. Total head-scratcher.
