Discord isn't friction as most developers and gamers use Discord regularly. You refusing to use Discord makes you a tiny minority. So it's friction for you, and you personally.

These same people want an online live discussion about the issues in the game. This again makes you part of a tiny minority that doesn't want that.

Since you're part of a minority, developers lose nothing by your lack of interest in the Discord community they've created. A game certainly won't fail if you choose to ignore Discord. Rather, a game is likely to fail if there doesn't exist any Discord community for it.

    Yeah I guess. Hiding their game in a proprietary black hole is their business I guess. In a few years their game will be forgotten all discussion lost and no-one will care.

    Again, they could have all the same thing on their own site and include live discussions.

    But people want shit apparently so here we are.

    And it might be worth pointing put that discord users themselves have begun complaining about server fatigue. Many suggesting they don't want live support for every game. They want to look up issues and move on.

    Isn't there a limit to the servers you can join? Isn't it 100? I know many people already at that limit. How are new games going to crack that problem?
