Gede: Sadly, you don't always get a fair or a proper choice. If you can't pay the bills, your gaming soon stops. If you are drafted for military service, what choices do you have? If you are injured, in the hospital, what can you do?
Perhaps you may find a value proposition in there, but I believe we both understand that life can easily get in the way of a gaming run, and could agree that features that could ease up resuming that run later would not be unwelcome.
That. and for me a forced break sometimes comes from e.g. buying a new PC where I want to continue playing, or moving a game or games from one PC to another, or just having to reset/reinstall the OS for some reason. Cloud saves certainly would help there, but generally I choose to use offline installers etc. where I have to move the save games manually, each game separately.
For instance when my earlier gaming laptop died, I was still able to salvage some of the game saves from it, like for Homeworld: Emergence, HOMM1 and a few others, and I still haven't had the power to reinstall and move those backed up savegames to my new gaming laptop. One day...
The more common scenario though is the combination of having several games being played (usually from different genres), and in some of them hitting some boring or difficult part, hence taking a pause from playing it in frustration, and playing something else in the meantime. Then kinda forgetting to get back to those games.
Very few games are total bliss from start to finish but have parts you enjoy much less. You still don't want to completely abandon the game as you believe or at least hope it will get enjoyable again after that.
