Oh great, another discord I have to join for information because apparently a dev blog isn't good enough. Time to add it onto the other 600 servers I follow because the devs utterly REFUSE to say anything outside of there without monetary incentive!
Can devs, for once, post progress updates SOMEWHERE ELSE THEN DISCORD?!?!?!?! Goddamn it all to hell, I'm getting so tired of this. At this point I'd rather stay in the dark then join these shitty servers just to lurk.
Discord is just like a cancer at this point. It brings everyone together but locks a ton of vital information behind it, because "just join the discord xDDDD". That doesn't sound so bad, until you realize every niche game has a discord, and every niche community would rather tell you to join their cancer hellhole instead of answer your question, and half the time these servers require "verification" to even view their channels, forcing you to use an account! Lurking off-platform doesn't work because there's no goddamn info outside of discord!! My god!! I don't want to join every single goddamn discord on the planet!!!! Arrrghhhh I wish this service wasn't so goddamn popular!!!
I get you're trying to be helpful, discord is an inherently useful service because it brings communities together, being able to ask questions and receive questions fast, but I'm so tired of this being the natural response to EVERYTHING. I should be able to google my question and find a reddit thread about it, not be delegated to join a discord for a half-assed answer. Man I don't even want to use this service at all!
Rant over. I imagine this'll be deleted because "offtopic", but I'm just so tired of discord.
