Reset / Clear Cloud Game Statistics

📋 Summary

Allow users to reset or clear their cloud synced game statistics, giving them control to resolve sync issues or start fresh.

❗ Problem

The current cloud stats system has no way to reset server data:

• Cloud stats can overwrite newer local progress when re-enabling sync

• No option to clear or reset cloud stored values

• Users can become stuck with incorrect or outdated data

• Only workaround is to manually fix values or abandon sync

This creates frustration, especially when sync behaviour is unclear or incorrect.

💡 Proposal

Introduce a cloud stats reset option:

• Allow users to:

  • Clear all cloud stored game stats

  • Optionally reset stats for individual games

• Provide this option within:

  • LaunchBox settings

  • Or user account / cloud settings

• Include confirmation prompts to prevent accidental data loss

• Optionally allow:

  • “Reset and use local data” on next sync

🧩 Use Cases

• A user wants to fix incorrect cloud synced playtime

• A user switches devices and wants a clean sync state

• Sync issues cause mismatched or duplicated stats

• A user prefers to restart tracking from scratch

📦 Benefits

• Gives users control over their cloud data

• Resolves sync conflicts and inconsistencies

• Reduces support requests around stats syncing

• Improves trust in the cloud sync system

⚠️ Considerations

• Must clearly communicate that data will be permanently deleted

• Should include safeguards to prevent accidental resets

• May need to consider partial vs full reset options

✅ Outcome

Providing a way to reset cloud stats gives users a reliable escape hatch for sync issues, improving confidence and usability of the system.
