Hear me out. A few games have shader installations that will usually apply any new settings you put down AFTER you restart the game, and a lot of other games have graphics settings that will only apply after you've rebooted the game.

I don't think it would cost developers ANY amount of money or any significant development time to add a "Reboot game" button (or toggle) every time the player presses the quit button, or give the player a prompt every time they change a setting that requires a game restart (like in both PC versions of GTA V).

I also think ANY game should have a "full potato" mode capable of running in older computers with NONE of the fancy graphics stuff that we have access to today, despite having a decent computer now.

Games that honor alt-f4 INSTANTLY are amazing

    There's a roguelike I play, which combats save-scumming by only giving one save slot per character. And so the only reason to save the game, is when you're done playing. So, you hit Ctrl+S to save, and it instantly quits as well. 🙃

    Which is interesting, because at least for me, the main reason I try to save often like that is because of games like bethesda games or other games that don't autosave and will crash, losing you HUGE amounts of progress.

    Ah yeah, it does auto-save regularly, too. But I don't think, I've ever seen it crash without me doing some out-of-game fuckery. 🙃

    Well, and of course, losing progress is baked into the gameplay of a roguelike, so whether your savegame corrupts or you die yet another stupid death, you just start another run and you're right back into the action.
