"They" are talking about a section on here to download saved games.

Presumably we would invite people to send their saved games to us and then post them for download.

What sort of problems can we expect? Anybody into this elsewhere?

A week later than he said, Tony finally leaves for the time being because he is too busy.

I don't like the idea about being able to send in or download saved game files.

Especially when you can easily download software to make viruses which look like other files (Trojans)

Also, why should anyone else benefit from your hard work in a game?

It would be better if there was a section for people to send in their customised levels, for games like Red Alert, Duke 3D, etc.

I don't know what that is. I'm talking about normal PC games positions. Saved into a databank for people to "cheat" with.

Some sort of files database would be nice - skins/levels made by users, and saved games as you said. Dex Drive is just something to let you transfer console game saves on to a pc and send them to people.
