Cloud Support?

gimpymoo · 01-25-2011, 08:08 AM

In the future perhaps?

Any reason as to why it is not included at launch?

We felt that the time spent on implementing cloud support would have been better spent on other features.

But absolutely a possibility for the future.

Fair comment.

Out of all the Steamworks features, Cloud for me is one of the most used/desired.

Considering the portability of steam, and computers these days, Steam Cloud is by far the most important feature of steamworks.

Steam achievements on the other hand? Fairly useless, they dont' add up anywhere, they're hard to find, and they generally just mean nothing for steam users (unless you're game is called Team Fortress 2).

Steam Cloud is bar far the most useful feature on steam, especially for someone who travels a lot. Please implement it sooner rather than the later which your post implies.

I just purchased the game and the first thing I noticed was no Steam Cloud icon. I also throw my vote in for this being added ASAP. I agree with the posters above that it is the most useful Steam feature! I play games on a laptop when I am away from my gaming PC and because of that Steam Cloud is immeasurably useful!

So please add support for this!

I agree with Zorlac, I personally would rather have Steam cloud than Achievements.

My understanding is that the Steamworks SDK allows cloud synch without too much hassle?

I agree, both with the fair comment part and with the fact that I use cloud most of all Steam features.

Steam cloud = instant purchase. Do it, do it now!

aleufms · 01-26-2011, 03:20 PM

Yes... I'm waiting for Steam cloud for buy.

Neuenc · 02-05-2012, 08:49 AM

Bump. Been over a year... Own it, but won't play until Steam Cloud support.

Still no steam cloud I see

. I'm constantly switching between laptop and desktop so this'd be awesome to have.

Silyus · 08-10-2012, 09:30 AM

Forgive my necroposting, but does this game still lack of a proper steam cloud feature?

It's a big point for me, so it's worth asking

I'm thiking of buying this awesome game but I'm still waiting the steam cloud feature...
Please, implement this!

Please, add this... In my opinion, Steam Cloud it's one of the most important feature of Steam, and it's a shame that Magicka does not get it yet!
