INACTIVESteam announces game recording beta
paddirnSounds cool, though that’s probably the most generic name I’ve ever seen before ‘Game Recording’ (though it is pretty clear). Call it something short and hip like, Steam Jetz or some shit.
I like to think that somebody at Valve asked if they should have a meeting to discuss naming this feature and people just went naaaaaah.
Whatever their reasoning, I honestly think I prefer a simple, intuitive name over a Gamer™ one. Preferences apply, of course, but I often find the latter cringe-worthy.

Game Recording, on the other hand… It also fits neatly with all the other generically named features like Steam Friends, Steam Community, Steam Achievements, Steam Input, etc.
