    I haven’t even heard about it on Discord itself.

    Anecdotal obviously, but I’m not sure it’s a big news story on corporate media sites.

      They posted it on their Facebook page, there’s a sizeable backlash there too.

      Huh, wow.

      Could be I’m wrong.

      It makes sense that it wouldn’t be story on corporate news sites though.
