Feature Request - Game Activity Privacy Control
I feel as of right now that game activity is a giant privacy invasion and a huge flaw and vulnerability for Discord and it's users. Game activity in its current state takes a gamelist from some unknown source and uses that to match up games with users. However flawed this list is could be at the demise of Discord's users. I feel that we need a full overhaul of the Game Activity page and function. Right now I have many friends that have opted to turn off game activity completely (myself included) due to the invasion of privacy it ensues. This will harm Discord and it's community if it isn't corrected soon.
We need a few key things for this overhaul:
- Game-specific lock outs moved from LIBRARY to SETTINGS next to GAME ACTIVITY. No one would find this unless they found out from someone else.
- Friend-specific lock outs. (Hide all games from this friend)
- Server-specific lock outs. (Hide all games from this server)
- Auto Opt-out of activity per game (Do not add new games to game activity)
- Peace of mind that programs cannot announce to the world what is running. (Rich Presence API PRIVACY control)
Optional things:
- Renaming games/apps *possible Nitro feature*
- Public forum for which titles are automatically added to the list
Please consider at least some of the following. I'm personally exhausted with all of this. This is why almost everyone I know has turned Game activity off. Until these are fixed it will stay off for me as well.
