Reply to comment by Illustrathor in Rant: All single player games should have an easy way to quit to desktop and save as-is. Too many games require exiting to main menu and then quitting from there -- with an obligatory "ARE YOU SURE - YOUR PROGRESS WILL NOT BE SAVED" warning. Save the progress and quit -- it's not that hard. by BBorNot

Did you read the post? The problem at hand is not being prepared to turn off a gd game. It’s the fact that there are not one but multiple steps to take in order to fully back out of the game and it’s rather frustrating/annoying especially when you’re in a rush or caught in a bind. For example, Microsoft flight simulator the exception of Ctrl alt delete you cannot successfully exit the game until you back out of the session your in and exit to the main menu first, which then allows you to exit to the desktop. It shouldn’t require multiple steps, because believe it or not these games take time to load, said menus, and that’s the problem. If I could exit to the main menu in under five seconds, and then click a button and exit the game with another few seconds it wouldn’t matter, but these games requiring you to go to menu after menu after menu, which takes time is a little ridiculous.

Yeah I read the posts that's why I ended my comment the way I did, since it didn't made much sense. And If you are that much in a hurry, Alt+f4 out.

Even your case is not the norm, most games let you either exit directly or right in the home menu, which doesn't take time to load in pretty much every game. If you take a specific game to validate your argument, that doesn't make your argument more valid but make you look nitpicky and manipulative.
