Discord announcing a new platform for gaming and store. Might take a look after all?

i do care, read this yesterday, tho it's a "fail" for me.

or maybe was only the coffee this morning, not that good as usual...

:D

Is it interesting? Yes.
Do you care about it? No.

When Discord launched that game page/tab, within minutes I searched for a way to get rid of it because it showed only info on games I could care less about and even if I cared about the games I am not interested in seeing video's and other publicity crap about it on my page, just like a huge picture of a game a friend has played that you can't disable unless you disable all the What's New of that friend, nice for him but don't fill my whole page with stuff like that please!
Will see how this works out, just hope that in worst case you can disable it just like we can do now.

Looks about as interesting as Twitch Prime spam about games on their launcher, so not at all.

I don't need yet another account to store games that might or might not close in the future, so i don't really care.
However it's a nice opportunities for those that hate, ofter without a real reason, Ste, so i guess it's fine.

My general feeling is the more stores the merrier. I can certainly dig a curated store, even though I don't think I personally need one, and might not buy there unless prices are good. I also like the idea of a generic launcher, which can launch any game installed on my PC. Will wait and see how well that works, but it's certainly a nice features.

As for games free with a sub, I see that as a nice bonus. I probably won't sub for that myself, but anyone who already considers subbing might enjoy getting some games, and if that library grows big enough and good enough, it might entice people to sub who are on the fence.

Same as with twitch store, no reason to go there unless they put something good there, cheaper so I go and buy or they make some giveaway or something for start, like just no reason to use it unless I get something from/in their store.

Already it's a closed source project that doesn't care to allow for third party messengers to support it easily (eg. Pidgin) so they're on my I-don't-like list.. I don't think they'll have better thought process while making a store or even a (most likely DRM) launcher for games. Steam is enough for that and thank Zeus there's GOG.. Going to play something now to lift the negative ions from the air..
