    Yup. Is it in /usr /var /etc or /opt? Maybe in some hidden home folder? Sure, you can Google it, but there’s no guarantee you’ll find the right answer.

    There are only a handful of places Windows sticks stuff, and it’s pretty predictable.

      Disagree. Take game saves on windows. They can be in appdata\local, appdata\roaming, documents\company-name, documents\savedgames\company-name I’m sure there are more.

        Nah. 3 places.

        • Appdata subfolder
        • Documents
        • Game installation folder

        Savegame folder is then placed either ina folder with game name or studio name, so easy to check all these locations within minutes.

        Let’s not talk about rpgmaker games tho. I’ve seen them do some wacky shit with gamesaves.

        Edit: To make my point clearer, I disagree with person above me about their disagreement. Savegames on windows are predictable as hell. Thanks to person below for pointing out I didn’t convey. :<
