    Can’t get the save file from some android games anymore. 🤷‍♂️

    One of these days, they’ll add a censorship chip into every consumer electronic.

        You still can’t write into it, which means you can’t continue off a save file from another phone.

        I suspect this is to make piracy harder. A lot of paid mobile games (Ported from PC) seems to want you to use Google’s cloud these days.

        The only exception is like Stardew Valley, where they put the save directory in a normal folder. Every other game make it impossible to move your saves.

        Heck, Into The Breach is even locked to Netflix. You need a fucking Netflix subscription for that. No thanks lol, I’ll enjoy my illegal download. (I have to type in a cheat code to unlock the stuff every time I set up a new phone, but its a roguelike, so not much data is lost anyways)

          “The only exception is like Stardew Valley, where they put the save directory in a normal folder.”

          It’s been years since I played Stardew Valley, but stuff like this is why I consider myself a fan.
