Built-in autosave feature (for the TE version).

No, guys, you're hopeless... :(

Where is the hopelessness... but stubbornly focusing on 2 elements of the game... I don't know...

P.S. Look up my recent arguments with Old Man on similar topics when you have time. It's like déjà vu. History judged us (3-0 in my favor), and I think it will judge you too.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find it, but I would have liked to. Time will tell, but in general, the right direction is to DO, rather than just sit and argue, because even with your cons, there were so many debates, and when you wrote in detail what you want in the new version, well..., but overall, this is a positive movement.
I can, for example, give you all the source code and knowledge about replays if you want to work on them, because this is definitely a necessary and useful thing. You just need to do it, then there will be a result.
For example, yesterday I made a chat server and wrote a simple client.

P.S. Here's another quote from Horn's Manual:

Another thesis is to achieve complex and meaningful gameplay with the simplest basic rules. Therefore, when considering any potential innovation, we ask ourselves not only the question "is it necessary?", but also "is there a simpler way to achieve the same goal?".

In relation to experience, the phrase "is it necessary?" is very appropriate,
and in relation to classes, "is there a simpler way to achieve the same goal?"
