capture card optional?

Do I need to use a capture card to record gameplay? I don’t own one, and I am pretty sure they are expensive.

You can find good capture cards for considerable cheap prices (where I come from, you can get a good one for $30), but no you don't need to have a capture card to record the gameplay. Get a phone, iPad, camcorder, webcam, just as long as the mods can clearly see the game and you can get the video on the youtubes.

Yeah, I'd like to know where you can get one for 30 bucks. The ones of decent quality are waaay more expensive

Yes, elgato's standard ones are $180. I would like to know which ones are $30. Are you thinking of the wires to record from CRT's?

My Elgato was almost $300 (in canada)

Not with computer software like OBS, you would need a physical camera to record it
