Problem with savescumming is, anyone can win while using it given enough persistence. And on easy mode, you shouldn't have a big problem living anyway as long as you #1: keep medkits on you, #2: remember to use them when you are low on health (I suggest it for anything less than 30% for most enemies and 50% if you are up against an Arach/Vile), and #3: don't bite off more than you can chew. Yeah, it sucks to die repeatedly, but getting it smacked into your brain in this way helps when you later try harder difficulties. Or you can just continue to savescum, but don't expect people here to consider it much of an accomplishment. Personally, I don't care too terribly much, but I respect the decision to make death permanent, and am willing to respect it (it helps that the game is short compared to most roguelikes) in all my attempts at winning. Still haven't won yet, but I know I'm close, and it irks me that I haven't (on easy, my most common source of death is player error, either because I've got the wrong weapon and I blow myself up, I forget the presence of a barrel and blow myself up that way, or I just plain forget to use a medkit and try to blow away that last *#$%ing pinky/caco/whatever instead).
