How the hell can you or anyone hate memorycards?

-hard drives, if the system dies or is broken you need to reinstall everything to pre condition. therefor you lose all your files. Also you cant transfer as easily your save file to another system and all the other restriction with trophies.

- cartridge systems, all of them pretty much rely on a small coin battery. If this battery dies so does your file. Same kind of way for megaCD and sega saturns on system memoies, i think you have to play or turn these system on once a week to recharge the battery there which is a rechargarble battery.

The Memorycard the Playstation introduced was the best way to save your files even today. SNK actually invented the memorycard but they used also coin batteries who will die off, but you can buy thirdparty neogeo memorycards who work like playstation memorycards, having also more space too.

And if the memory card fails? You lose everything which makes it no better than the options given above.

The best storage method is HDD + cloud. If the HDD or system fails, all your saved games are backed up on the cloud regardless and you can start playing as soon as the new system is up and running.

No its not, who would use cloud? Memorycards are the most reliable data storage, i have files who are 20 years old 

You've got to be joking. Pretty much everyone who uses Steam, PS+ etc. use cloud saves. 

So if your house burns down and you lose your memory cards, what happens to your game saves? With cloud storage they're always backed up, even if you physically lose your HDD/memory card.
