Turned over a New Leaf
That's kinda like saying " i just found out that this brand new car i bought is missing a few bolts! but they're only bolt's that act as minor support points so its ok...." that being said do you really want glitches and bugs despite how minor they seem to be in a game that your paying full price for? Not me, just like i wouldnt want to buy a car that is missing some pieces, sure you might not think it a big deal then, but down the road when that little vibration gets worse and worse, you gonna wish it had those extra bolts....
I highly doubt the glitch is corrupting the game. Walking outside of boundaries will not affect the save file at all. It's not like you can plant anything or drop anything out there, a message tells you you can't. The biggest risk is freezing the game once. Your analogy would work better if you could modify the outside acres and plant trees and stuff out there. I think the people that are getting corrupt save files are the ones who are planting trees and putting patterns everywhere they possibly can which is messing up the save file. It's stupid that it happens and I REALLY hope NOA and NEU are fixing these problems. I hope it's the reason it's taking so long.
For now, if you have the digital copy, back up your saves to your computer. I did it for other games and it worked.
