Baldur's Gate 3's huge launch has reignited the age-old debate about save scumming.

The gripes I see about save-scumming usually come from those who would prefer not to but don't have impulse control, so they'd prefer developers to take away from players who don't care, and have valid reasons for doing so like you listed.

Developers disallowing saving when I want make me so irrationally angry. Let me play the game in a way that I know I will have fun. Not allowing it has always been a way to extend your game artificially.

The debate often pops up in rogue like games when you say there should be a save and quit option.
