Why aren't cloud saves default?

[Sollidottingen]

Steam staff themselves say they don't charge for cloud saves... So why isn't it default for all games?

It provides such a boon to consumers and it would be such an advantage for valve in the online store game.. It seems like a no-brainer?

Game devs opt into using the Steam Cloud for saves on their games. It's an option, not a requirement.

If it's free, then why don't valve provide it on every game to provide a better service then every other online store? it's a no-brainer

did you read or not understand what was said? it is available IF the game developer wants to use it. if you want to complain about a game not having cloud saves, complain to that games developer, steam has no say in it. the game dev decides everything about their game, this includes price, sales date, discount, cloud save, where its sold, etc, etc, etc.

I can't read something you haven't typed.. Or are you saying that cSg|mc-Hotsauce is your alt-account?

That goes against the steam ToS... Anyways, Valve can do whatever they want on their service.. if they put the decicion on the devs, they can sure as ♥♥♥♥ make it mandatory. Don't you know how the basics of business @Wolf Knight?

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

I remember telling you this back in May.

Nothing about it is against the ToS. Valve will never make it mandatory. And Valve can not set it up for titles they don't make themselves.

back in may? so this guy is just trolling

You do don't you? And you still don't realize that valve can do whatever they want to provide more customer service? Nothing hinders them from providing cloud saves, and the fact that you pretend that there is, just shows how anti-consumer you are.

[Sollidottingen]

It's like saying saying "HBO can't provide subtitles because it's up to the content provider" they are the content provider and they can do whatever the ♥♥♥♥ they want to provide a better service.

Get real @cSg|mc-Hotsauce

[Sollidottingen]

Please explain what law stops valve from providing a better service @cSg|mc-Hotsauce?

They don't provide subtitles for shows/movies that don't offer them, no. And not all content on HBO, now MAX, is not owned by MAX.

Who said anything about laws when this is only about game developer options to either use the features Valve provides or not.

You brought it up.. You said Valve can't provide cloud saves because it's up to the devs... I said they can enforce that ♥♥♥♥ because it's their platform.

You said they can't so your argument is that valve don't control stuff on their platform, which is simply untrue.

So you see how you're in the wrong and how i am right?

[Sollidottingen]

Glad you agree you're talking ♥♥♥♥ @cSg|mc-Hotsauce

i mean

could steam demand every dev do this or they will not allow the game on their platform?

i guess so

why would they, though?

if a dev doss not want to incorporate cloud saves

something they know exists and they can use

that is on them
