Another GDQ, another opportunity for me to remind devs that the way you support speedrunning for you game is NOT to add teleporters or shortcuts or workarounds but to add optional timers and skippable cutscenes Teleporters, shortcuts, and workarounds are actually typically antithetical to interesting and fun speedruns.

If someone wanted not to play your game, they just wouldn't. The whole point of a speedrun is to engage with what's there.
