I reinstalled Vampire Survivors for the first time in a while to try out the new DLC thing, which I bought the other day for something like 36% off, thanks to the bundle trick.[1]
And my save was completely wiped and gone. I was able to restore a backup via the options, but it still looks like everything from before I got the other two DLCs is still gone. Bits and pieces from the DLCs are still weirdly showing up, though.
Honestly, since I don't actually trust that backup save at all, I am tempted to do one of two things, right now. Either (1) delete my save entirely and start over completely fresh, or (2) just say fuck it, uninstall Vampire Survivors altogether, and never touch it again, ever. I might just end up doing a bit of (1) before getting tired of it and moving on to doing (2) anyway.
Interestingly, the way to clear your saves is a bit arcane (in-game, at least, since you could just manually delete them in OS). Google told me that you have to go into the options and click on the "Account" icon seven times, which brings up an otherwise hidden "Delete Save" option. A bit weird, that. And then, if makes you confirm at least three times before you can actually delete the save.
[1] - The bundle "trick" is that when you buy a game/DLC in a series for which you've already bought all or most of the rest of it, and there is a Steam bundle for that game/DLC/series, the "bundle discount" is almost always bigger than the individual game/DLC discount. In this particular case, when I bought the Among Us DLC thing for VS, the DLC by itself was something like 30% off or whatever, but the bundle (which, for me, contained only the Among Us DLC, since I already had everything else) was 36% (or whatever it actually was, but I'm pretty sure it was 36%[2]) off.
[2] - On checking my purchase history, I got it for $1.59 (not counting tax), and the DLC is $2.49 USD normally, with no discount, so yeah, it was 36% off with the "bundle" discount.
