Steam’s built-in game recording feature has been usable in beta since the summer, but it has now been properly launched for every user, following a client update to Steam yesterday. It’s basically another method of capturing funny ragdoll glitches and posting them on the “lol-games-are-dumb” channel of your friend’s Discord. Or for posting that flukey knife throw in Call Of Duty to Twitter, as if you really meant to kill the man from across the map all along. Or saving a clip for your personal records, like the footage of that time you yeeted an innocent citizen off the 50-foot wall of a castle town in Dragon’s Dogma 2. We all do that, right? Right?

After simply being provided with a “list of container locations to move parts around,” Atlas uses various sensors and machine learning models to determine the position … Read more
The Video Game History Foundation is “not done fighting” after US Copyright Office refuses exemption to aid preservation
Back in April, I wrote about a hearing that took place between representatives Video Game History Foundation, the Rhizome project, and the Software Preservation Network, in which they argued the case for a DMCA exemption that would allow researchers to remotely access out-of-print games in libraries and archives. Representatives from the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) and the AACS were in opposition, with ESA legal representative Steve Englund at one point fretting about some sort of hellish “online arcade that (he’d) been warning about for the last several proceedings”.
Last Friday, as per a statement released by the VGHF and spotted by PC Gamer, the US Copyright Office officially denied the exemption.
