@Futureshark I think there's some confusion here about what people are asking for with regards to saving. There likely are some people who want to be able to save the game and reload it if they die, but that isn't what most people are asking for. The feature that people are asking for that the devs are trying to deliver is the ability to save the game and quit immediately after so that they can either update the game or their console, or switch to a different game or turn off their console. Being able to save and reload the save after dying violates the game's premise, but being able to take save the game so you can turn off the console or update it without losing your place is not unreasonable. If and/or when the developers implement it, you will not be able to save scum.
