they do, you need target specific group of the population, then with time (years), it spreads to other new generations
that's how teamspeak died, it's userbase was aging and as a result died with time only for discord to take over
- hunterb123 5y agoteamspeak / mumble / skype died because users kept getting ddosed
- Shadonototra 5y agothat was true for steam too, yet it still is here and stronger than ever
- gsich 5y agoMaybe with Skype.
- krageon 5y agoMumble is atrocious for the end user, teamspeak is atrocious for folks running servers and end users and don't even get me started on what Skype ended up as. They really don't compare to something like Discord at all, which is a corporate hellscape but is admittedly very low barrier to entry (and more importantly just works).
- hunterb123 5y agoNot saying they weren't UX nightmares, but that's where people were and that's why they switched off. Communities liked TS3, there was little delay, it was private, but you had to protect your IP.
