It’s arguably garbage. Game Overlay was just one of a long list of things shoved down my throat by M$ that eventually culminated in my wiping my windows partitions, and fully moving to Linux.
I’m not going to proselytise, I’m just pointing out that it was one of the factors that helped the decision to fully switch easier for me personally to make.
Many other factors have been shittier imo. Like forcing online authentication so they can steal your content, & scan it and sell thr profile. with crap like onedrive, edge and every other pointless services you dont want but generates money for Microsoft.
Top it off the list of people they sell your data to includes but is not limitted to:
data brokers (onsell to anyone including criminals)

Fair. My main issue, beyond it just not providing any benefit to me at all, was not being able to get it to fuck off and stay fucked off. Like OneDrive. Why the fuck is everything automatically installing and saving to the OneDrive folder? To try and force it down my throat, and M$ can fuck themselves with a rusty cleaver for the displeasure.

Is that all.
The game recorder is not bad.

It doesn’t break things like other overlays in my experience, but it also doesn’t provide anything I want.
