Who the hell backs up a video game? wtf? Why is everyone acting like a corrupt file is a normal thing

Because it does happen sometimes.

I have 5 games I backup regularly because there has been a time when a Update/Patch b0rks the game.
Taking the time to backup has saved my *ss and kept me from making rage posts like the OP
Its not hard to go to your C:Users/"username"/AppData/LocalLow/IronGate/Valheim and backup the "worlds" and "characters" files. Just in case
