The Dark Truth Behind Game Save Systems | Then vs Now
Have you ever wondered how games saved your progress before memory cards and cloud storage existed?
Why old games used long password codes… and how modern games now save your world in the cloud?

In this documentary-style video, we explore the dark and nostalgic history of Game Save Systems — from the frustrating 50-character password era, to cartridge batteries, memory cards, hard drives, and finally modern cloud saves used by today’s AAA games.

This video covers:
Why early games used password-based save systems
How battery-backed cartridges changed gaming forever
The rise of memory cards and hard drive saves
Why modern games don’t actually save the full world
The secret behind World State vs Object State
How open-world games like GTA and RPGs rebuild the world
Why saving everything is a bad idea for performance
And how modern games give the illusion of full world persistence
