What's a screenshot?
Picture of the Year voting is now on. Let us know the main reason you take screenshots during games.
✓ As a record of the game
I've played so many games in my life. I remember so many of them, but memories inevitably begin to fade sooner or later, and so do a lot of details and the feelings I experienced back then. Not just about the game, but life in general, the time when you played the game.
It is a nice thing that you can revisit a certain game and a certain point of that game by just checking it out on Youtube. But that's not the personal experience you've had back then. Screenshots folders are photo albums, nothing else. It's nice to check them out on a lazy Sunday every now and then.

And tomorrow you'll be on your way
Don't give a damn about what other people say
Because tomorrow is a brand-new day
