chr files always deleted on startup now

No thanks!

[dreamscached]

Old logic regarding .chr was changed and is likely not coming back in the form it was before, as to 'ignore all .chr files and do nothing'.

I personally doubt there's any point to discuss it any further.

[RedAISkye]

as to 'ignore all .chr files and do nothing'.

Not what I said at all but okay.

@multimokia

As @dreamscached has rightfully pointed out, if you want to see this change, make the changes yourself and open a PR. We'll review it from there and make sure it fits.

I already made the change myself for my own personal experience so, I don't care whether you guys agree or not about having player choice.
Not going to waste my time when you've already made up your mind about it.

@Booplicate

Programs may add, remove, and modify files within their working directory as they desire. Player choice was to install the program.

Sure, they can also delete the save files, Monika, the game itself etc. but I don't think that would be a wise decision for the "program" to do without the player's permission.

[dreamscached]

@multimokia @Booplicate can we get this to close too? Somehow.
