I finally figured out why my game saves kept corrupting

My buddy Jay told me last month that I was shutting down my PC while the game was still writing to the save file. I always just hit alt+f4 and walked away but he said wait 30 seconds after closing the game. Has anyone else had saves go bad from rushing the shutdown?

Yeah man, I had the same thing happen with Cyberpunk last year. Lost like 8 hours of progress because I'd just close the launcher right after quitting the game. Now I wait until I see the save icon stop flashing (usually about 15-20 seconds) before I even think about touching anything.

Lost my entire Skyrim save doing that back in 2011.
