Okay, but maybe I wanna go on the toilet and don’t wanna get raided right now but turning the game off and on again is stupid. You can still let people out of the system if they’re not actively playing.

If that’s their way of working, then it’s a bad way of working and should be avoided anyways. That is NOT an argument, at all. That’s just bad game design.

I like it because it prevents you from cheesing the game Skyrim style by pausing, eating a dozen wheels of cheese, and becoming extremely hard to kill.

You can also disable that while pausing the game. It’s not a law of the universe that pausing a game allows using the menu.
