It came with my Logitech C922 webcam.

No idea what this shit is, but if you want it, here you go.

Xsplit is a video mixer, which has been kind of shut out by the free and accessible OBS that most streamers use these days. I haven't looked in on it in so long that I have no idea what they could possibly be bringing to the table for their subscription based service that the free options aren't already doing.

    Probably a "grey hat" scam. As in, three months for free, but probably requiring a credit card, which then automatically gets charged after the first three months, hoping that the user simply doesn't have the patience to unsubscribe or something.

    Yeah, I mean that’s basically all free trials. This type of pack-in is essentially just paid advertising.

    I've fallen for it a few times when I was younger, but nowadays I just refuse all free stuff. Not all things are so malicious, but I can't be bothered to be on my guard all the time. Like I often get offered free stuff at the train station. It's usually just some unmotivated student who's standing there because they're getting paid. I'm sure it's actually just a plain, free sample,but I can't be arsed anymore.
