bought it xD But i don't see any redemption :/

on top of the page, there is 'Credit', do u have any credit?

i have USD4 credit before i purchased space marine. earned that usd4 credit cash back after buying batman AC during last xmas sales.

so when i want to purchase out the space marine, i can apply the usd 4 credit to the purchase and entitled me to usd4 discount. so the game price is around usd 8.49 after the discount.

and it is one time use of course. now my credit is 0

i disabled steam cloud since day 1. i know this will be a problem somehow. plus i dont play across platform the same game. i think thats the main function of steam cloud rite, to sync ur games across platform

Its useful to have my games and settings backed up - especially Portal 2

Sometimes I play on my MacBook Pro (in fact I completed all the levels on my mac) , now when I moved back from Aus to Malaysia and fired up my main PC - voila my save games are there and my key bindings are stored as well. It keeps synced across my PCs

Ideal for RPG games or any other game in fact

But if you have a sucky internet connection (with poor upload) it can take a huge time to 'sync' as it will upload save games and other files to their  central server

correct, the cloud function did a nice job for backup there. no need to manual backup the saves game files.

same with me, i play most of indie/casual games in MBP and all the high demanding gfx games at PC. thats y i did not use the cloud function for now since i ran diff games on diff pcs/lappy. but that cloud function will be really useful in case of my pc crash or when im moving to a new pc.

i will turn the function once a while to make sure that all my games are backup in the cloud.
