Steam Cloud Launches This Week
Valve announced yesterday that their extension of Steam, called Steam Cloud, will launch later this week with the Left 4 Dead demo. Steam Cloud is "a set of services for Steam that stores application data online and allows user experiences to be consistent from any PC." We discussed an early announcement for it back in May. Valve adds that "Steam Cloud will be available to all publishers and developers using Steam, free of charge, and Valve will add Cloud support to its back catalog of Steam games. Cloud services are compatible with games purchased via Steam, at retail, and other digital outlets."
I dunno. Sounds like a lot of hot air to me.
Yeah, you're right. It's probably just vaporware.
-Insert steamy pun in here-
OK, but I wish you'd get your mind out of the gutter.
Maybe I need more info, because I'm still a little hazy on the details.
Could someone give me a condensed overview please? I'm a little foggy on the concept, and that would really clear things up for me.
cmd-q.co.uk - some sort of stupid fucking internet bullshit
I've been burned by this sort of thing before.
Scalded, surely?
Yeah, I know.
I print all of my POPed emails at home and then manually type them in at work, so I have the same ones everywhere.
Dunno what this fancy IMAP is good for anyway.
I also run to and from work (about ten miles). No use for fancy cars or public transport.
I also hate everything that's new and I happen to love to brag about my pretty cumbersome workarounds.
