Alternative reading:
PC game downloads are not working out for Amazon, but Tony is seen as quality talent, so they promoted and transferred him, reduced the scope of the role he was in, and filled it with a producer who has fewer resources and less of a mandate to make PC game downloads a priority for the company.

didn't know that but it's still disappointing even if it wasn't "working" out for them to fall back to the level of digital sales that they are at now

So, I´ve never really understood steam cloud saves. Do all new games have them? Which don´t? Is there a way to check it? And is there a limit to how many files I can have?

And how is the compatibility between Mac and PC steam saves? Do any games support it? Which do?

And why don´t Steam advertise this feature more? I couldn¨t really find a Steam saves home page.

Steam Cloud is entirely optional and not all games use it for saves (e.g. Rage just uses it to store the player config file).

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
The Wolf Among Us Episode 5 is out on Steam now! downloading it as i type!

Nice - I just finished Episode 4 on Saturday, so I'm totally ready.
 
I started playing Claire last night. I'm not very far in, only about 20 minutes, but they absolutely nailed the atmosphere. It's a very eerie unsettling game

I'll post more impressions once I've played more

i love threads about f2p games, where people talk about how they're not going to give a game a try even if it's free and how much they are not interested
 

Sub Zero

his body's cold as ice, but he's got a heart of gold
They can purchase as many spares as they'd like. if anybody here would like the game for $3.99, I can help out.

The full Deponia Collection for 3.99$ ? Count me in. I think I have your paypal, so steamchat me when you can get it for me

Thanks! And what about mac/PC compatibility? I tested it with one game, will it work with all of the cloud enabled games?

And also, do I risk my saves getting deleted or whatever if they reach a certain size limit?

Hope that steam makes it mandatory in the future.
