Once Discord enshittifies, lazy devs won’t be able to say “follow our Discord for updates!” anymore.
I’m a lazy dev and want to get ahead of this, where should I post my updates?
On whatever platform(s) you sell your games. The key is not expecting someone to sign up for a different service for your updates.
Or just have an open forum/place where you don’t need an account to get into some walled off bullshit.
Back in ye olden days you’d have your own website, a blog, or maybe a forum. It was indexable on Google and anyone could see and interact with your updates. If not for that there’s always steam.
Pfft we got rid of that yonks ago, now you just have to have an AI rewrite your documentation as a million shitty tutorials that are all search-engine optimised on different websites and hope the user finds one semi-legible.
It’s a piece of piss, literally.
