C:\Users\Username\Saved Games is a thing. Not a lot of games use it though.
There’s also C:\Users\Username\Documents\My Games which seems more popular with some devs. Though some devs inexplicably use the base Documents folder, which is just obnoxious.
But yeah, a lot of devs still use AppData. I read a post from a dev once that explained the advantages and disadvantages to each Directory, though I can’t remember the specifics, there is at least logic to why saves get stored in so many odd locations.
hough some devs inexplicably use the base Documents folder
Shoutout to Anno 1404 which creates no less than 4 directories in the base Documents directory each for slightly different releases for the game that they later rolled into a single release so your user data is strewn across all of them if you bought the most complete release of the game
