What's the chance that Steam/Valve will close in say the next 5 to 10 years? Not 100% sure about the nature of the Cloud saves through Steamworks but I'm sure there will be a local save as well and the Cloud will just sync it. I could be wrong and will be more than happy for someone else to correct it.

No surprises here, it's easy to port an XBLA game to PC. Extra sales, for little work. I'm happy though, since I'm interested in buying the game and don't use my Xbox.

As far as I know, the save files are on your computer. The Steam Cloud thing is optional, though it is nice to know your saved games are stored somewhere else in case something happens to them.

I wish Steamcloud support was just a matter of playing the game on Steam - not enough titles take advantage of it yet! Makes playing games both at home and at work (lunch break, after hours) something other than an exercise in frustration, which is nice.
I also wish that Bastion was out on PC sooner. Saw a little of it being played on XBOX and I'm dead keen.
