This is fairly interesting:

I wonder what this will mean for XFire. It is getting a bit archaic these days, and probably feeling the pain with the much more usable Steam being more popular. Only reason I still have it is all game tracking.

Tbh wasn't that why we all used it, its not that we didnt have steam chat in the games we played back then either

I use it for recording in game stuff and Broadcasts occasionally... makes sense to have a program which can do that sort of thing imo

But that's what fraps is for.

We started using it before Steam friends existed

Naaa, you started using it before steam friends worked.

Hmm, true, just looked at my XFire account, I thought I signed up sooner than that

Still, it was a while before Steam Friends became good.

xfire is better than steam friends, omg can't believe you use it -.-''

Fraps cant broadcast... And costs money.
