When my phone died right
I didn’t even notice how annoying this became until last month when my phone died right before a trip and I had to switch to an old tablet, and suddenly half my games felt like they belonged to another person, like progress missing, accounts not syncing, or worse, starting from zero again.

Yeah that exact frustration pushed me to change what I play entirely, I used to not care and just install whatever looked fun, but after losing progress twice I got super picky about cross-save and cross-platform support, now it’s basically the first thing I check before downloading anything. I bounce between Android and PC daily, sometimes even cloud gaming on a weak laptop, so if a game can’t keep up with that, it just doesn’t fit my routine anymore. I came across this breakdown https://bharatflux.com/cross-platform-or-die-why-79-of-mobile-gamers-refuse-to-stay-on-one-device/ while trying to figure out if I was just being picky, and turns out a lot of players feel the same way, which made me feel less crazy about dropping games I actually liked. What helped me personally is sticking to games that use one account system across devices instead of platform-based saves, and also checking if they sync instantly or only manually, because that delay can mess things up too.
