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with, library/activity/achievement tracking etc… but its player-to-player communication infra sucks and feels super outdated compared to the robustness of discord

all-in-one community platform 💜 for creators, events and web3  💜✨

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. 🚀
