RIP people who leave the game running in the background

Can't do that on GFN either, it'll boot you after like 10 minutes of idle, and you lose your progress. I tried their early founders deal and that was an annoyance, could hardly use the bathroom without finding a save point first.

Really? I tried Amazon Luna once, and while it would end the stream after some number of minutes, you could resume it right where you left off. It only closed the game entirely after a significant amount of time.
