That is engaging with them, just in a way that they'd like to engage with them. From the time they bought the game, it ought to be theirs to do with as they like.

I mean, sure, they have the right, insomuch as someone can buy a game on disc and use it as a coaster I guess. But it ruins the point of it, in my opinion.

I'm not saying people are wrong to enjoy media and spend money however they want, but it's like a concert venue installing fancy couches to put in the lobby for people who buy tickets to a show but don't want to actually watch it. It just doesn't seem worth it.

People have been save scumming games for as long as saving has been available. A number of PC games have had instant save/load at any point for decades. This wouldn't be much different

There are multiple things to get out of Elden Ring besides a challenge, and as further proof of that, the DLC retained the challenge but not some of the other fine points I really enjoyed about the base game.
