Real-time games with an intentional omission of a pause feature.

Agreed. I can understand in MMOs, but if I'm the only one playing, the game should stop when I say stop.

At least make it an option in the accessibility settings if it's not "the developers' intended experience".

    I've got kids, if I'm playing while they're up I have to be able to drop everything on a dime to go stop them from managing to kill themselves because that happens about 3x an evening

    There's several games I'd like to play but simply don't because I cannot pause. Like I get it, single player is just booting up the multiplayer server without networking so only you can join, but also it's only a single player so they should be able to pause the engine whenever they want to
