    I can't stand when games do it. Just put the files in a designated folder where the game is installed dammit!

    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

    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.
