MGS games kinda do this. You get better rewards for beating the games with fewer saves. For example, in MGS3 you can't save more than 25 times in order to get the Big Boss Rank.

unmodded skyrim, repeated saves causes save bloat and eventually it corrupts them.

I lost my progress twice on that, but thankfully it never ruined the rest of my memory card.

More commonly I see games where there are rewards for using limited saves. Hitman and Desperados III do this.

Was that a PS3 thing or something? I've had hundreds of hours on multiple saves on 360/unmodded Xbox One versions and never had a corrupted save.

yes mostly ps3, though fucking around in the 360 version or the PC version will eventually cause issues too.

Saves made after the SC3 save are likely to mangle the SC3 save, and the SC3 save is likely to mangle those.
It 'leaks' outside of its stated filesize for some reason.

Yeah, it was eventually patched, but after 100 hours of gameplay, it was literally around 5 FPS
