15.11. Valve are announcing Steamcloud.

Save games and configs are to be stored by the Steam back-end. Half-Life will be the first to do this, with Counter-Strike remembering your key config. Left 4 Dead will ship with this too.

If you’re offline it caches the data locally, and then uploads it as soon as it can. They will keep those save games forever. “You can uninstall Half-Life, then come back to it two years later and finally finish Xen.”

It will be free, to both developers and customers.

15.08. Steam customers take it for granted that they can access their games from any PC. They no longer have to dig around for the DVD.

“Now their game-generated data can come too.”

Finally! No more carrying around your save games on a flash drive!

Not that I do that....
