You can play in multiplayer mode, but someone must host the game. If you disconnect from the game, you don’t have the latest version with you and can’t continue by yourself. This dependency on others can be inconvenient.
Creating and managing a dedicated server is relatively difficult. You need to maintain each server, update it regularly, and pay for electricity and connectivity. Additionally, you have to either buy or rent the hardware.
If you don’t want to worry about all that and just want to play occasionally with a few friends while making progress, then this program might be perfect for you. All you need is online storage and a shared folder with all players.
Unlike common software that compares file modification time, this utility is unique in that it compares the actual time played in the game. So, it shouldn't happen that the old game overwrites the new one.
