Why would they stop a developer from allowing save sharing?

Why would they stop a developer from allowing save sharing?

The only reasons I can think of would be the game is so poorly designed that things like online leaderboard rankings or items or something are stored locally, or the developer is storing like personal information in a safe file.

引用自 Mico: el Micófono：

Games like Stellar Blade or Resident Evil 4 Remake, for example, lock your save and associate it with your Steam ID. This means that if you share it, other Steam users who have it won't be able to use it, and that also prevents you from using other people's saves...

I honestly don't understand how Steam allows this when in most games you can do whatever you want with the saves.

Same reason some games lock you out completely if you don't log in on the web, even if you're just playing a normal single player game.

You should not even be asking about Resident Evil 4. Who is that made by already? Yeah.

Maybe they want people to actually play the game and not use other peoples hard work to cheese through the game?
I mean, why buy a game when the only thing you are going to do is use someone else's save file and skip all the hard work?

Does it really matter how people want to play a singleplayer game?

If all you are going to do is skip the whole game by using someone else's save, what is the point of even getting the game to begin with?

The whole gaming scene is going bonkers.. Locking saves to a steam account now, whats next banning you if you save?

Locking saves to an account is nothing new.
Both PlayStation and Xbox console do it too.

Prevent exploits, cheating, etc.

Again, does it really matter? It doesn't affect you in any way.

How can Steam allow it? How about it's none of their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ business to manage the save feature of a game they do not own.

People seem to really overestimate Valve's ability and willingness to control PC gaming.

You're talking about Capcom and PlayStation Publishing LLC. What did you expect?

I mean, the devs didn't accidentally include it. They clearly want a specific 'game experience'.
