I just looked up "Openfeint". It took me a while to find the connection to Discord. Not sure if I did because it seems like some mobile app for people who play mobile games with some connection to some Japanese network and hosted in China or something?

OpenFeint was founded by the same guy who founded Discord. From the Wikipedia page: "In 2011, OpenFeint was party to a class action suit with allegations including computer fraud, invasion of privacy, breach of contract, bad faith and seven other statutory violations. According to a news report "OpenFeint's business plan included accessing and disclosing personal information without authorization to mobile-device application developers, advertising networks and web-analytic vendors that market mobile applications"."

  I was entertaining an offer from Discord and also stumbled upon the founder’s former company debacle. The platform vision pitched to me in the interview seemed similar and seeing as how he started to implement spyware I decided to bail.
