Nobody wants to replay the portion that they’ve figured out again and again to get to the part they haven’t. It took game developers a long time to figure that one out, for some reason. Heck, they still sometimes put a checkpoint too far back, but that probably comes down to testing. I’d say Super Meat Boy was probably a big turning point as far as that goes.
