I think it's significantly more likely that these people's game saves will be restored than if their local saves were lost. People are woefully uninformed, and often quite lazy, about backup strategies, especially if they play games on consoles. When you use a cloud service backups and restore becomes someone else's problem that they're paid to do well. The main problem for these people will be whether Google and Ubisoft consider it a big enough problem to bother fixing.

> The main problem for these people will be whether Google and Ubisoft consider it a big enough problem to bother fixing. It's this lack of control that keeps me gaming locally and saving games locally. My save game backup strategy is mostly non-existent, I focus on just things I create like code or writing or pictures or videos. I've lost saves before through my own stupidity and I'll curse the gods for a few minutes and start a new character or whatever or decide it's a great time to try a new game. If some company decides my lost save is not worth retrieving or I get banned for who knows what reason or they just turn off the servers one day, that's when I'll feel the pain for a long time and curse them for a lot longer than I would curse the gods or myself.
