Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Not too shabby.

I went to play a few nights ago and noticed that my cloud saves were offline. "No Biggie" I thought, these things happen.

A month free is a nice way to say "sorry".

So how do they define who was impacted?

  • 12.31.2012 8:41 AM PDT

So is it added on to our gold we have already, or what?

I would imagine that if someone has never saved to their cloud storage, they may not be eligible. But this may be a blanket "one month free to any/all Gold members" sort of thing.

Oh nice I'm cancelling my subscription so now I have an extra month.

I assume they're just going to give it to everyone. I don't use the cloud to backup my saves, but I was given an extra month.

I've been playing Halo since 2002. My earliest memories include hiding at the shotgun window on Damnation and killing my dad with grenades while playing co-op on Pillar of Autumn.

Yeah I got the month free added on to my subscription. I don't think it was out for everyone, I could be wrong, and it was only given to those that it went out for. I never used cloud storage on this account, but I know it was out for me.

My best friend works for Microsoft. In my experience they give away a -blam!-load of free stuff all the time.

Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lube.

Hopefully I got something stored on the Cloud...

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

I have never used that Cloud storage thing, but I'm glad the people who were affected are being compensated.

  • 12.31.2012 8:53 AM PDT

Damn it. I never use it. Oh well.

Personally, I would love for MS to link/associate Cloud Storage with SkyDrive.

You could then put all of your save-files, and user-created content (maps, videos, saved films, screenshots, etc.) onto SkyDrive in an XBL folder.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

I think that it is half of a GB.

Want Coup? Here it is for Chrome.

But that would open up modding to more people again. It would also be difficult for the user because screenshots are not saved as JPEGs and films are not saved as .avi or some other common format. Microsoft also names these things oddly with a bunch of numbers and letters.

They could always check the size though when you put it back in.

Most of what I say is sarcasm, the rest is of the highest intellect.

So this is why my Gold didn't expire. I noticed that cloud was down, but didn't think anything of it because I only use it for backups.
