whats the point of this being on steam?

Whats the point if you can't have more than one steam app on at a time?
i will continue to use the stand alone version i have been using for years so i can still run A Hat in Time

You definitely can have more than one application open on Steam at a time. Have you tried to?

I was also going to ask what's the point in adding this on Steam. But you can play more than one games on Steam at a time.

It still doesn't answer what's better than launching OBS from the Start Menu when it's installed inside Steam's directory rather than launching OBS from the Start Menu when it's installed in the Program Files directory.

You can have a utility like Action game recorder or OBS open while you are running a game. You just cant run multiple games at the same time.

the main reason is not having to install another program ie if you install it threw steam you don't have another installer. is it needed? no is it very nice yes

You can even run 2 games at the same time, but I don't know if the gameplay time is recorded for both.

You can run multiple apps and games at the same time and gameplay time is recorded for all of them.

Hopefully nobody is running and recording/streaming from the same drive tho.

This isn't true, I have multiple games running at the same time right now.

There is no point, it absolutely makes no sense to run Steam with OBS. You can download it from their site and make it portable without needing to launch Steam. Also when you stream games you want as little ♥♥♥♥ running as possible so it's more lag-free for you and your viewers.

See i diddnt know that i always thought steam only let you run 1 game at a time

Probably for the Steam Deck, making it easier for people to install rather than using the Package Manager or typing it in in terminal.

I don't record but you could always get Western Digital WD BLACK SN850 that does up to 7000 MB/s reads and 5300 MB/s writes. Will require you to have Gen 4 NVMe slots though.

I'm hoping it will mean streaming from SteamDeck is eazy peazy

[Wehzy]

Why not? every games come to steam at some point.

I was asking because of the one game at a time myth...
