Other than saves, what files do games heavily modify? And if you're complaining about cloud syncing of (auto)saves, I personally think it's a good thing.

- TeMPOraL 2y agoOne example I experienced recently: Sims 4 uses a subfolder in Documents as a cache for downloaded data and decoded chunks. It creates and deletes files there constantly while the game is running; we're talking dozens of files per minute or more. Few minutes of play, and there's nothing but hundreds of new additions and deletions in the "recent history". Not to mention, all that auto-syncs with any other machine you have online and using the same Microsoft account. Wrt. Saves, auto-uploading those can be good, but it's unnecessary for games I rent on Steam, which already handles cloud saves on its own.
