Why this game still has no Cloud Sync?

[Painkiller]

This game has 13 years and still has no Cloud Sync. Why?

[Raymond]

because of the save file. It would have lagged the fk out of the game with cloud sync.

Personally I"m super grateful there's no cloud sync. That's the worst implemented invention Steam has come up with. I always get corrupted saved games on any game where I use it.

Cloud sync only occurs after the game is closed so any lag from saving would be due to the user's hardware not network activity.

Would really be useful for those of us who play on a steam deck and pc .

Actually the first thing i disable is Steam Sync or Galaxy Sync. It is just annoying. I have my saves well maintained and i dont want to wait for it to sync for seconds or minutes (depending on their servers) to be able to play. Not to mention if Steam is down or disconnects(which it does almost dayly now) you cannot even access those saves.
So actually i am happy there is no Steam Cloud Sync here.

I mean most games in my Steam library don't have Cloud Sync. Lot of them are much newer than 13 years. I wouldn't expect it to be a given regardless of how long a game is in early access.

That said, we'd like to have cloud saving in at some point, but simply have too much to do.

That's the excuse? lol

I'm going to hazard a guess that Steam's cloud sync is pretty low on the list of priorities. Personally, I'm totally okay with that.

Probably, seems like a lot of things are low on the priority list

Go develop your own game, See how many things you don't end up doing in a long time because you have other more important fish to fry. TIS isn't a monumental company like EA or Ubisoft, They have to pick their battles and their priorities with a fine toothed comb. So yeah, A lot of things ARE low on the priority list. Well below big projects like the animation upgrade, the readdition and fixing of multiplayer, the addition and refining of NPCs, and other constantly requested updates and additions.

Know how many people regularly ask for Steam Cloud? A couple a year. It's a QOL feature, But one that isn't strictly necessary because users are fully capable of backing up files themselves or putting it on a USB stick to travel with them... These options are not as CONVENIENT as Steam Cloud, But they are equally as functional. Which means the addition of Steam Cloud functionality is, strictly speaking, doing work to add a feature which Technically Speaking, Already exists. Which is a comparative waste of time in the light of everything else that needs doing.

Actually it's usually due to one of several things:
1. Steam craps out, so the next time you load the game it pulls an old outdated save from the cloud even though your local save is newer, so you lose your progress.
2. The internet craps out, and you have the same situation.
3. Your game crashes or something, so since any saves that you made in that time weren't uploaded to Steam cloud, you lose them in favor of Steams out-of-date save that gets pulled down when you load your game.

Compared to others I think they do a decent job at keeping this a good place to have mature constructive discussions while removing any toxicity or problematic peoples.

Yes. That’s how prioritization works.

If the one guy on the team is doing something more important, such as say, fixing and optimizing 42 to address performance issues, then the choice is either find and train a second guy or take time away from something more important

There’s always more to do and not enough people/time:money to do it, so you make choices.

That’s how it goes with a small team.

I mean that’s how it also goes in every facet of our lives in adulthood (unless you’re filthy rich), so why does this keep being written like some sort of gotchyaa! moment lately.

You're telling me that you haven't mastered time itself so you have infinite time to work on literally everything??

But seriously, I'm glad I don't work in an industry like gaming where I have to deal with people acting like the creators are lazy or incompetent because things aren't done NOW.
