  • Discord is going to be the age-verification-service for gaming, if they can get laws to follow fast enough.
    They have the gaming community, they have chats/friends/DMs/VoIP.
    If they release a dev toolkit that implements in-game chat, in-game VoIP, friends list and age verification… All while not being tied to steam? Imagine if they offered a system for in-game purchases and gifting purchases to friends (oh yeh https://gam3s.gg/news/discord-adds-in-app-purchases-for-in-game-items/ )
    They are positioning themselves to offer a huge range of features, easy navigation of legal minefields, and no distribution-platform tie-in - while also offering out-of-game functionality of all of that (likely leading to player retention for games that leverage it properly).

    They are positioning themselves to be a market-leader/industry-standard for game social networks. Everyone that has ever used discord is the product they are selling, and they are now releasing the features and tools for companies to leverage that.



  • It’s beautiful!
    Once you get something running proxmox you will fully go down the rabbit hole!
    You will be thinking about k8s clusters, DNS and domain management, redundancy & availability, services for this, that and everything!
    Before you know it you will have a rack of 8 servers doing various things, 2 UPSs, a standby generator and a backup 5G wan connection!

    Or, you know, as much of that as you want.
