First I’ve heard of this, love it and thanks for sharing

I honestly think it’s the right move for them. Discord is so good for gaming because it’s deeply synchronous. Hard to make that work for community management, which needs a more async workflow

I feel like Steam has the “other half” of what discord is seeking— wide integration with games; some letting you add someone that you recently played with, library/activity/achievement tracking etc… but its player-to-player communication infra sucks and feels super outdated compared to the robustness of discord

I'm not too bullish on this. It will be good on the long run though

Interesting shift by Discord to focus on gaming! This opens up a massive opportunity for crypto-native social apps to fill the gap and revolutionize community engagement. 🚀
