whenever i find a game that i actually want to keep playing i give a quick prayer to the gods, thanking them for their mercy
go figure that game was The Long Dark this time, only thing more violently autistic than a realistic canadian survival game would be a railway planning ga- sigh
they’re more reliable but they still wear out, but i don’t really think it’s a problem you need to worry about, just have in the back of your mind that you’ll want to make a backup after a while so you’re not sitting there with a dying sd card with all your data on it.
But also IIRC flash storage specifically fails to write data as it wears out, so it’s not like the data is gone.
early access games are also notorious for being dogshite and left as such, or they’re fine but with obvious flaws which are never fixed because “bro it’s still in early access!”
