Every steam game should have CLOUD Saves!!!

Of course they should. Try convincing the developers. Now it's too late for your saves, regardless. Seems fitting that I'd forgotten to backup my ME1&2 saves as well.

Solution for this year > use Dropbox

at least 20 hours for ME is relatively little

my steam would always "apphangb1/stop responding and never open" so i uninstalled it, lost every single game in my library and all my saves as far as i know

(havent got around to dl the bigger games back im on satellite net so i got a 10gb/month cap -_-)
so i feel your pain

as an option, not as a requirement see GFWL and losing all our saves due to their lousy cloud (steam is better though)

And first step would be, that all games would have universal saves location like My Documents. I threw My documents into Drobox for games saves cloud syncing and formatted my hard drive since computer was running slow and I was thinking that my saves were safe. But the biggest surprise was, that Sleeping Dogs and some other games use some stupid savegame location out of Documents folder and i lost save at 30 hours of playtime at the last two missions in Sleeping dogs. That's why i will probably never complete this game I generally liked.

Who is going to pay the costs for all of this cloud storage for game saves because people are incapable of backing up data?

I suggest using SpiderOak to backup all your save game data. That's what I do. It's like a version of dropbox that doesn't suck.

i thought it saved my la noire saves... i was sad i played 18 hours

Get Gamesavemanager.

I lost my Portal 2 save once because it conflicts with Steam cloud
GameSave Manager is more reliable I think. And oh, my Internet is not that good for uploading so I had to disable some Steam cloud for some games with big save files

Actually it would be cool if we had an option to save directly to Steam. For some people who have Steam in different PCs they could share their save files.
