Steam Cloud support will ship with Valve's Left 4 Dead demo later this week and the full game on November 18. In this first release, the information stored and accessible through the Steam Cloud includes keyboard, mouse, and gamepad configurations, as well as multiplayer settings such as spraypaint images.

The Steam Cloud will "just work," meaning any user changes to their game options will propagate to the Cloud by default. Upon logging into Steam from another PC, these settings will be brought down from the Cloud and automatically leveraged by the game. Any configuration changes on this second machine are then synced to the Cloud for future sessions.

Steam Cloud will be available to all publishers and developers using Steam, free of charge, and Valve will add Cloud support to its back catalog of Steam games. Cloud services are compatible with games purchased via Steam, at retail, and other digital outlets.

"For some time now, Steam has allowed gamers to log on from any computer in the world and access their applications. This also makes it easy to upgrade a PC without worrying about losing your games," said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. "Steam Cloud is a natural extension of the portability Steam affords gamers and developers, and we intend to expand its feature set as it is used in Left 4 Dead and other games coming to Steam."

Activision is making a killing on downloadable content it seems, with Call of Duty: World at War alone having made almost $70 million from sales of map packs alone according to Gamasutra.

The $70 million figures comes from a detailed analysis of NPD sales figures for the game as part of an effort to work out how much the average American has spent on the game.

There are three map packs available for Treyarch's Call of Duty: World at War, with each one priced at $10.

Collectively the trio of DLC has sold more than 6.5 million copies as of August. Over half of World at War's 11 million sales were made in the US too, with Gamasutra finally concluding that the average fan had spent around $65 USD on the game.

Obviously Modern Warfare 2 will follow suit then, with some MW2 DLC already hinted at and said to be in development before the game has even launched.

It's probably not too cynical to suggest that the roll-out of IWnet for Modern Warfare 2 is part of an attempt to make PC gamers more reliant on DLC for new content too, by trimming out some mod support and all dedicated servers.,steam is the perfect platform for it.

Get your wallets out!
