Funny news title aside, Valve has announced that Steam Cloud will be rolled out later this month. Steam Cloud allows PC users to share data from their PC to any other PC they log into with their Steam account. This means that players' key mappings, spray paints and other configuration settings will transfer to any PC they log into.

Steam Cloud support will ship with Valve's Left 4 Dead demo later this week and the full game on November 18. Left 4 Dead will be the first game to have keyboard, mouse, and gamepad configurations, as well as multiplayer settings such as spraypaint images saved for use on any computer.

More info after the jump.

From the press release:

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."
