It's probably because a lot of gamers use Discord.

Which is lame, because IRC has always been the way to go. The things over the year that have attempted to replace IRC were often outlived by trusty (still existent, obviously) IRC.

The only thing IRC is better at is being able to host your own servers instead of having another party itself (in this case, Discord) to host it for you. Discord is better in every other way.

...Except that Discord looks like a kiddy, 2010s attempt at making a chatroom. Very gaudy.

I'd actually chose Team Speak over Discord, but that's just me. And I do run a TS server anyway so I guess I'm partial to it. I've talked to my friend from here in Colorado all the way to Perth, Australia and it sounded just like a normal phone conversation. I even had encryption turned on. Plus, I was using the TS App on my phone to connect to my TS server and used my Bluetooth earpiece.

I suppose you could do the same with Discord, especially if they have an App. Don't know if you can run your own Discord server at home though where you have control. I never did care for the Discord interface though.

That thought did cross my mind.
