Widescreen status and steam cloud [your changes @empire earth III]

i thought that widescreen but stretched meant a true status, because actually, you CAN play in widescreen(in spite of for example games like machinarium or tropico). if widescreen experience is stretched and so a crap, it shouldn't matter.. in fact this is the purpouse of the WSGF stickers... isn'it?

and then, the game is not a ubisoft/square enix game, nor it is on steam so why steam cloud/square enix things should be included in the source of the page?

There isn't a set policy on this as yet but widescreen status here is generally based on the game using the extra space with the correct aspect ratio, so as on WSGF a game that stretches or pillarboxes is considered false.

The steps needed to achieve stretched/pillarboxed widescreen resolutions are still provided where applicable, and in the case of pillarboxing this is especially useful since it looks much better than scaling a normal 4:3 resolution.

As for the cloud saving issue it looks like that was fixed before I got to it; you're right, they should only be specified if available on those services, so if you can't buy the game there simply leave its parameter blank (unknown will still show the line).
