We Have Too Many Game Overlays 💀

Here are all the game overlays I know about. Some of them are built with web technology and others are written and native code.

Steam Overlay

The steam overlay works in almost every game and allows you to press SHIFT+TAB to reveal various things.

Most useful things are the being able to record and a nice FPS counter. You can activate the overlay with ALT+Z.

Overwolf

Overwolf is more or less a platform for developers build useful game overlays for their supported games.

    Sono completamente d'accordo: gli overlay dei giochi stanno diventando opprimenti e spesso interrompono l'immersione. È come giocare in un casino deposito minimo 1 euro, dove si desidera semplicità e concentrazione senza inutili distrazioni. Sia i giocatori che i giocatori di casinò apprezzano esperienze pulite e prive di distrazioni. Gli sviluppatori dovrebbero davvero ripensare a come e quando vengono visualizzati gli overlay, in modo che migliorino il gameplay invece di interromperlo.
