I can see Steam creating a quality discord-like platform and owning the market.

If Justin Wong isn't in to your TAG FIGHTER of all people, you've got problems. The game is just way too up it's own ass with devs and designers that were competitors from the FGC. Seems like it's far too complicated and aggro for the casuals.
Kind of a shame- it looks real nice, and i'm sure the netcode is great.

TS definitely had the better features for voice. You could setup different command groups and priorities so you could have 10 squads, a squad leader group that could hear squad leader chat and a general/commander that would prio all the talking, or however you wanted to abstract it. I want to say you could even have channels for cross server comms in the case of alliances but I might be misremembering that.

Riot laying off a bunch of the 2xko dev staff. Game hasn't even been out for a month and was in development for 10 years.

This is one of the reasons I have almost zero hope that this MMO thats still in development by them is going to be worth a fuck. The whole companies claim to fame is monetizing WC-3 DOTA - the company is creatively bankrupt and always has been. They incorporated shit like TFT etc. into the League client just to get eyes on those products, but they still struggle. League is over a decade old now, and it aint picking up very many new players as far as I can tell. New Accounts =/= mean new players no matter how they want to present it to their chinese overlords.

I cant see anyone returning to TS, Vent, Mumble, etc. in any type of serious capacity. A new competitor will come into the void that Discord leaves after this draconian change.

This is kind of going to be the new norm. Using CSAM as a front to push authoritarian mechanisms. It's been going on in the EU for a few years now. And if you object you look like the creep.

This.

"Think of the children" has been the defacto way to erode rights for America's entire history. This is about getting a profile on people who attempt to use Discord to organize.

The US will get there, don't you worry lil fella.

Cops in the US are already showing up to people's homes over things they posted on social media. There was a case in Florida very recently.
