    Save Disabling

    Concept »

    This is when a game removes the ability for a player to save during certain sections of the game. This is usually done towards the end of the game to increase difficulty. This isn't the same as save points; players must actually have their save ability taken away from them.

    Short summary describing this concept.

    Overview

    This may be done to increase difficulty of certain sections of the game but may also be implemented to prevent an action called 'save scumming', in which player may save before they do an action against (huge) odds and if they fail, they load the game immediately before the action and try again without consequences.
