More, in-game "backup" is a method to carry saves across platforms, and using it as save point is considered as exploit. I'd rather understand it that they don't mind using cloud save /restore as normal save point (even very often) but it should not be used to rollback a car or upgrade purchase.

Still it is very confusing, because how could people gather wiki knowledge about upgrade trees and their PR values if not by using that method?
