Ability to blacklist applications from Game Activity.

ramma

I use a game launcher (Lutris) that Discord continuously detects as a game. Anytime a game isn't open it sets my Game Activity status as if I'm playing the game launcher.

Despite removing the launcher many times, Discord automatically detects it and re-adds it to the Game Activity list, making it essentially impossible to remove the launcher from Game Activity. The only current workaround I've found to prevent the game launcher from perpetually showing as my status when not in a game is to manually toggle Game Activity on and off every time a game is launched and closed, which of course isn't ideal.

Instead, it would be great if there was a way to simply blacklist applications in game activity so they never show as your status. Just like how Steam isn't detected and set as your now playing status, there should be a way to tell discord that Lutris shouldn't be displayed as such either.

    This has been frustrating me for years and I keep seeing it pop back up as a request. Can this please be implemented? Ideally, I'd like to disable Game Activity entirely, but having a blacklist is an acceptable substitute for applications or games that are either incorrectly detected or not something I'm interested in streaming to other people.

    Quick solution for Linux and Lutris:

    cd /usr/bin
    sudo ln -s /usr/games/lutris

    Reboot your system (not really necessary but just to make things easier to understand)
