Save Game - what User Index is for?

So far I’ve used it as easy way to create save games.

In my prototype I check via an “Does savegame exist” for each index how many exist and display some basic data which I also keep in the savegame object. For example username, time played or whatever.

When a user picks one file I use that index from then on to load all content from different savegame objects which always have the same name but a different user index.
