Cloud Saves - or doesn't save

[Cloudane]

It's a wake up call about all this "cloud computing" rubbish for sure. Always keep backups of your local copies (which thankfully FFVII has) and just say no to anything that is cloud-only. It's far too easy to think "they're a big company, surely they can keep a cloud service working and everything safe" only to get proven wrong. With no recourse thanks to small print. If I were to lose a 99 hour save game to this, "annoyed" would be a huge understatement!

It's one of these things where there was one really good implementation (Google Apps in the case of cloud computing and iPads in the case of touchscreens) that makes someone a lot of money and so the entire computer industry gets dollar signs in their eyes and goes "CLOUD AND TOUCHSCREEN EVERYTHING NAO!!!!!!" even if it's completely stupid and terribly implemented (see also Windows 8). It's become a pet peeve of mine.
