People changing computer usually save their home data and expect it to
work in the newer one. Game maps generated from game editors are
expected to work in different architectures. I guess it depends on the
case, but I usually take care of that in the packages I'm more
responsible of.

Conceptually, I think that all the game data stored should be able to
be handled independently of the architecture the program is run on.
