Many such cases.
Discord has taken the place of old phpbb forums that would ban and lock threads for anyone having the gall to ask a question.
I despise game discords. Give me a message board I can scroll through 10 years later.
Seconded. Bonus points if it’s a 10 year old post that actually details how to fix something and hasn’t been deleted by mods with an axe to grind for literally no reason.
They’re incredibly poor repositories of long term information compared to forums. I also can’t understand why an entire industry is wedding itself to a closed product that could lock up and disappear whenever and however it wants.
discord as information repository is completely unhinged behavior
Its damned near every game specific discord I swear.
Caves of Qud devs and mod team are great. Some youtube asshole directed his viewers to brigade their discord because you can’t join the fascist faction, and their response was “Good. It makes you all much easier to ban.”
Glad we have this mess instead of centralized game help message boards. So much easier.
I also love when a thing updates and you have to go to discord to see the patch notes, but you don’t want to do that so you update it anyway and then your entire thing breaks forever and corrupts your shit because they only mentioned that you have to jump through an extra hoop first on their discord. It’s such a good and efficient system
