Rant: The week I lost 3 game saves and almost quit gaming forever

Last year I had this terrible week where my PS4 hard drive just died out of nowhere. I lost save files for 3 different games I was halfway through - Red Dead 2, Persona 5, and Witcher 3. That's like 200 hours of progress gone poof. I called Sony support and they said sorry but nothing they could do. Now I always back up saves to a USB stick every month. Has anyone else had a console crash that made you want to just throw the whole system away?

Oh man, that's rough. I lost a Fortnite save once and I still think about it while I'm trying to sleep, but 200 hours? I'd need therapy.

I lost my entire original Xbox library when the hard drive died back in 2007, and I still get a little twitchy whenever I hear a console fan rev up too loud.
