I would think each time I save the file would be no different than any other time I save the file. A few seconds. And after a while there would be several files of different but related names in the directory.



Then if I want to go back one or two versions, I just load the desired file.


What am I missing?
You're asking for them to write a sort of T-SQL style approach to saving, just so you can save-scum the way you want to. As a developer, that is a *lot* of work. Like, on the level of changing the shape of the models that are currently being used in the game levels of work. No, it's not just a simple little thing someone could just code over a week or two and pop in. What's more, it's not only completely useless for MP leagues and PT, it's something you'd actually need to always have off when you're playing in those modes, because the ability to save-scum in MP, even as the commissioner, would be abused.
