Discord is never going to be profitable lmao

It can be a loss leader for microsoft, but at the end of the day, discord will always lose money. The operational cost of discord is way too high

This change just means more enshittification like with every ceo change.

Honestly they should just go full on points shops for spending money on xbox, like steam. Give out points to use for customization. That way they could at least make some incentive to use xbox and probably boost sales.

But why? People just want to talk and chat. The technology has been around for ages! Let users host their own servers

You just made me look it up and apparently they canceled it when I heard about it
