Lost game saves, hesitant to use GN again

First off I want to say I’m a big fan of GameNative and I will keep supporting it, because it’s current value and potential are huge.

That being said, I’ve recently encountered two instances of losing a save game. One for Slay the Spire 2, and another for Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. Not going to lie, both were quite painful, and they have been putting me off on using GN and playing these games, which is undesirable.

I don’t know what the exact causes of these failures were, but from my armchair it seemed like there was no proper check done whether a game already had a save, and it started (and saved) a fresh state.

I also have a Steam Deck, and the Steam client itself seems to have a very rigid process trying to prevent this failure mode. It would be great if something like that was in place for GN as well. Just my two cents.

That being said, this is already a wonderful project, with wonderful people on board, so thank you so much.
