Why do game servers require me to connect to Discord?
Many Discord game servers are created as a way to form a community around a game. By having their players connect to Discord, you can see who’s online and playing games and talk with other players. Discord can also control a community; with Discord being a form of verification, if players misbehave, they can be banned from Discord, which prevents access to the game server.
What is the age requirement for Discord?
