In a new patent filed by Sony earlier this month, it was revealed that the tech titan plans to bring about a feature allowing users to cherry-pick exact moments from which they can replay a game. It’s a feature that would empower users to track back through a campaign and select a specific moment in time to change a decision, re-experience something epic, or recount their steps, without needing to replay entire chapters – or the whole game.

You can copyright loading auto saves?

This is only going to be weaponized.

CDPR will hate it. I remember reading that when they made the first Witcher they designed the choices so that you wouldn't know the outcome of it until later in the game, it was to discourage save scumming and reloading a save until you got a "best" or "optimal" result.

If you had unlimited funds, you could virtually do this all the way back on Sony's own PS1 with memory cards...
