"Why don't we have threads like in Slack for more business oriented stuffs?"
Because Discord's not for business oriented stuff? It's IRC. Two paths diverged in a yellow wood; Slack went corporate and Discord went for entertainment.
Agree on the Electron front, though: I don't need a chat client hogging my resources when I'm trying to run games at maximum fidelity.
- beerlord 8y agoI use Discord for business - I work with a lot of IT freelancers. Its great for voice conversation and chat. Much better than Skype. The store is overkill. It will further bloat the client, and had none of the features that customers want (which is basically all the features of Steam) or devs want (which is basically DRM, global reach and localisation, patch management, and a lower cut than 30%). The way the store is setup now is basically only suitable for games at the end of their lifecycle. There is no way to patch the games, as far as I can see. The -one- good thing I will acknowledge is its curation. It was remarkable logging into the store and seeing a good-looking list of great games. Its become a bit of a tire logging into Steam and seeing loads of Hentai, porn, and Chinese games (Steam doesn't support title localisation) not to mention all the junk uploaded as part of Steam Direct $100 fee.
