Documents folder: obviously where video game files should go...
-
Some of them, anyways!
-
I can't stand when games do it. Just put the files in a designated folder where the game is installed dammit!
-
I'll meet you halfway: I created a new folder in the hidden folder %AppData% -- .NameofPublisher -- GameName
-
...make it stop...
-
That actually makes sense!

-
In C:\Program Files? Or C:\Program Files (x86)?
-
C:\Program Files\ unless your program is 20+ years old and you still haven't written a version for modern-day systems. 32-bit is dead.

Let's take a look at the old ssd...
C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games
\ C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy
\ C:\Program Files (x86)\Hearthstone
\ C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\etcetera

We’re walking about Windows, here. If 32-bit ever dies on Windows, it will be lovingly stuffed and placed on the mantle like a pet whose owner can’t admit it’s gone.

Please don't mix executables and data created by applications, even if the application happens to be a game. Those are supposed to be separate. That being said, "Documents" is obviously the wrong place for save game files.

-
Documents/games
Or
Documents/My Games
Or
Document/[Game Name]
-
Or
Gamefolder/Documents/
Why can't they do that?

Dude fucking iRacing...

Hey, some games don't even bother with the documents folder! They just dump their saves right in your home folder!
