Being able to save the state when you have something come up doesn’t make a game a game though. I can see not allowing save scumming (don’t care for that term but not the point) but you should be able to leave a game at your leisure and be able to return to it without having to have the system turned on and ready to play. People can’t always tell how long or much progress a game requires you to be at it before you have to do a large chunk over again because of other responsibilities.
I do see cutscenes being more difficult to handle this but if they’re putting in unskipable cutscenes then that’s something they should figure out, or allow you to skip if needed.
When my special ballot hadn’t shown up the local election office said that there is still a process to vote in person, you have to sign a statement saying you have not voted yet. It showed up the next day but according to them there is a process but they don’t mention it unless it’s really needed. It was last Thursday so I was a bit worried I wouldn’t be able to vote at all.
