And the journos and leftists are going to clap like retarded seals.
Surveillance, censorship, data collection, etc. Everything the left once fought against they now happily applaud because corporations made them believe it's for the children "hate speech". It's scarily impressive how corporations and governments made them do a 180.
Everyone I game with uses Discord. I hate that program and how so much crap is in a Discord now. They are a bit too normie for me to manage to push them to my own server and I don't play that much anyway. Except for my kid cousin who isn't allowed to use Discord at all because some literal pedos were going after him. We just talk on the phone instead.
I'm sure Discord is doing this too, I feel like I heard about it somewhere. None of this will be used for anything but sorting out people leftists don't like I'm sure.
Remember when companies used to have websites, with actual support areas? You could actually search for a problem you had, and find a solution because someone else found out how to fix the problem?
Or you could talk about the issues with the game and get people to discuss with in good faith with points and data? Discord turns all of that into chat room noise.
Exactly. I could get over it if it was just a chat with your friends type app. But the way everything has to be in Discord is asinine. Games, mods, etc. it's always "go to our Discord" where it's usually a mess of unreadable garbage.
Holy god damned shit, about time I find someone with the same thoughts I've had for a while now.
Fuck discord, every fucking game uses it as a bandaid for their community so they can do it cheaply and be able to censor anyone they want.
Discord is fucking useless for games because you end up with these massive servers of 1000+ people where only like 2 are online at any time, and those 2 are likely to be bots as they sure as hell never respond back.
I'd be more concerned about the possibility of feminists at Riot using the information to dox wrongthinkers than the possibility of Tencent finding out you mentioned Taiwan online.
It helps that built in voice chats are almost always god awful. Whether the quality, connection, or just the people, there exists no good reason to participate in them.

Nothing stops it from being exhausting, though.

Awful.

Yup. Untrustworthy to boot
Discord needs to stop using the word "server" for their chatrooms.
The biggest surprise in this article is that they weren't (or at least are claiming they weren't) doing this already.
Why would anyone use a game company's voice chat instead of something like Telegram where you can talk shit about your friend's Mom in peace?
This is why.
Last I checked, you could already only use voice chat between party-members anyway, so it was very opt-in to begin with, even compared to other games.
An excuse to admit they've been spying on their gamers.
Just start talking about how Xinnie the Pooh looks fetching when out with his boyfriend. EVERY GAME.

Best thing about Mumble is you can set up a server on a SBC and never have to worry about it.
Xfire gang.

Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
Wanna fall asleep on the porch in rocking chairs later?
What's voice chat? Can you not type?
You realize that typing means I have to stop doing anything in game, right?
