Yeah, sound the siren of revolution! ... cuz a guy was too dumb to move his save by Worm 01/28/2009, 7:34am PST
Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who understands how things are organized can just look in the save folder and move the save games into the folder that is his XBLA ID. I'm pretty sure that folder is auto created because I didn't hear ICJ belly aching about there being no folder. So this is the critical thinking of a guy stocking the fucking vegetables, the Red Leaf Lettuce goes under the pretty chalk drawing of Red Leaf Lettuce, repeat.

I really can't believe his hang-up is the saves being in 'My Games' since that is something Civ 4 and Oblivion had implemented. Why would the layman know that? Well the same reason I do, many moons ago I saw a folder named 'my games' nestled between my bad porn and really bad porn, and I fucking opened it up. Oh yeah, but he had to come up with an interesting blog post, don't want to spoil that with a quick google search.

For fun here is an ancient QT3 on the subject. Surprise! Everyone is an idiot from the guy who says "psh now they're only going to let admins run the games" to this gem from Marcus(the mutant)

Except when you format your HD and you lose your save game files!

Really I dont like it for the reason above. I was lucky on this last format that I checked the folder to see what was in there and found the save files there. I know that I am like a lot of people and that my games drive is not on the same drive as my OS drive.

/shrug

/shrug indeed. It may have only been 2006 but Marcus, probably a "Gaming Professional" was actually backing up 'Program Files' and letting his document folder with the ever important application data just getting lost in a format, and lets face it, probably still is. This is why Macs exist.

I guess the only other issue was that it cost fun bucks specifically, which was a little annoying, but it was easier buying them on the computer than on XBLA. It's about as good as the nuclear launch codes required to run my horsearmor.exe, and installshield I had to sit through that Bethesda was previously using. I guess it would really blow if you don't have a 360, but I can't imagine making the account takes longer than on xbla, because at least you have a keyboard to type in your stupid little name.
