They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won't last. They're going full Microsoft Skype mode and it's only a matter of time.

Makes me miss Xfire. Feature-rich, customizeable, great quality, overlay feature that didn't suck, no bullshit. It was orders of magnitude better than Discord ever was.

...but not popular outside of gaming; and ofc the other big tech companies litigated the fuck out of it, so it never really took off and now it's gone. Boooooooo
