    This has been talked about in a few thread already, thought it should be brought up on its own and discussed.

    There are two pluses as to adding a built in recording program for KAG.

    1. Easier documentation of "cheating" players.

    Since the only way to report players is along side a video as proof, adding a built in recording program would allow for easier documentation of "cheaters" Yes you already have programs like Fraps and Bandi-Cam available for use, but in some cases it can bog down your computer. Also, unless you are recording all the time, you may miss the person breaking the rules in the time it takes you to fire up your recording software.

    2. Easier recordings of you simply playing.

    Having a recording tool available for the public means more videos can be made. The more videos made means the more possibility of them being uploaded to YouTube. The more videos on YouTube, the most advertisement KAG gets. Also like I said earlier, other video recording software can bog down a lower end computer.

    Adding a small recording program, like ones used with TF2 and CS, would really help the community IMO.

    Cons to adding this:

    The obvious one is that the file for KAG will be slightly larger now that it contains a video recording software.

    Thoughts?

    Run through steam, use what steam provides. Otherwise there are many free things that will allow you to do just this, most likely better than what KAG could provide.

    The only advantage is integration, and that's not worth it, if you want that just run through steam.

    AMG I was thinking of this earlier...

    Maybe there is a good recording software that only has a small amount of storage that could be added onto the game :/

    Small amount of storage = Kag not having a larger amount of files into it.
