I recently had to reinstal my OS and that meant redownloading all my Steam games. Just Cause 2 didn't need a "locate>copy>paste>save for new instal" attempt for saved games. That....was....great.

All games should use this feature. Why don't they???

life were better if we only had steam and they were froced to .. sadly the day hasnt a probably wont dawn in tis lifetime.. hardcopy is still to much of a profit to be made by big name developers and lower end ones cant afford to ignore a potential sale.

and even if it was to happen say overnight pirates would jsut orbital ion cannon steam into DDoS and and raid it for all the accounts and keys its worth.. it needs to remain "inconspiquous"

Life is never better when you have no choice or competition. Competition keeps prices at a more sane level and gives companies a reason to innovate. Also, Steam is hardly inconspicuous.

They should

I love cloud gaming for my saves, it eliminates the hassle after you format.
