was bandicam ever even good? I saw the watermark literally everywhere at some point. I recall testing it out but fraps, dxtory and even xsplit seemed better at the time. Eventually, imo, OBS ate all of their lunch :)
None of that shit was good, it was just free-/crippleware/the only thing people bothered with. OBS is not perfect either, but thinking back to Fraps and dxtory makes me glad those days are over. The fact that it's FOSS is pretty awesome.
I kinda liked dxtory, apart from humungous recordings (due to codecs I used), it performed brilliantly. Kinda sad it hasn't received any maintenance in ages and the dev only seems to remove spam from their forums. Oh well, OBS does do basically everything imaginable.
