That is arguable.
I would say, save folder contents are very much your own personal documents. Like your word document is not owned by Microsoft just cause you used MS Word to write it.
Game saves are not included in the original distribution of the software. They are the result of your use of the software.
Hence, they are yours and you can backup and restore them as much as you want.
You may not reverse-engineer their format / structure in order to write 3rd party software to deal with those documents in a way the owner didn't intend to.
That's where I see the main difference here. Your program extracted and modified parts of the configuration files, hence you have reverse engineered the file format and wrote code that deals with the file's internal format.
I'm just copying the files as a whole. That should be fair use, really.
