Back in the day, when streaming was a wee lad and Twitch was just breaking in its teeth, ready to dig into the industry, I had the pleasure of owning an Elgato HD.

Midnight Murder Club Review (PS5)
Playing alongside friends when gaming is probably one of the best experiences you can have with your best pals. I say ‘probably’ because there are moments when the idea of cooperating sometimes goes south.
