Interesting news have recently come out from Pavel Djundik, the creator of SteamDB. The invaluable website that archives and displays just about all the possible data that you'd want. From concurrent player numbers, to game repository updates, and price history.

Needless to say, he's probably one of the best sources you could ask for, and according to Djundik, we might soon be able to record clips while playing games on Steam, just as easily as you can capture and share screenshots.

Not only that, but supported games will also support special timestamps that highlight various game events, with a hero kill being used as an example for Dota 2.

While there are already several tools to record gaming clips, it's hard to call any of them truly user-friendly and accessible. Shadowplay might be as good as it gets in that regard, but when it comes to output, you're still limited to either automatic highlights, or predetermined time chunks. While most places also accept many common video formats, you might have to additionally reformat your clip to post it somewhere.

In this regard, Steam clips should make sharing your clips as easy and straightforward as you can on modern consoles.
