Some extra info that may help;

How to disable the Steam Cloud service

You will need to disable Steam Cloud to stop your saves re downloading;
1) In your Steam library, right-click on Game Dev Tycoon and select "Properties."
2) Click the "Updates" tab.
3) Uncheck "Enable Steam Cloud synchronization for Game Dev Tycoon."
4) Click "Close."

---------------------------------------------
Save game locations for Steam supported OS

On Windows 8 and under:

C:/Users/YOURUSER/Appdata/Local/Game Dev Tycoon - Steam/Local Storage/
where YOURUSER is your Windows user name.

To View the App Data folder please allow viewing of Hidden Files and Folder;

On Mac:

~/Library/Application Support/{app}/Local Storage

On Linux
~/.config/Game Dev Tycoon
(might be slightly different)

It would be easier, if you could delete the saves in game...

So when are you guys going to just add a delete save button in game? Is it really that hard? I have spent like 30 minutes searching on Google and Steam to figure out how to delete my damn saves and none of the options are working on a Mac.

Doesn't work. I've owned this game since launch and what you're saying here used to work, yes, but it doesn't now. The saves seem to get restored upon launching the game even with steam cloud disabled.

Just add a delete save function, seriously.

Yeah, not to be rude or anything, but I'm about tired of it. Just add a delete button.
