Allow me to summarize my entire argument in a lovely little syllogism for ya:
1. If an integration between GOG and Discord would be largely profitable for both, both would be interested in it.
2. An integration between GOG and Discord would not be largely profitable for GOG.
A. If a large number of GOG's users would be interested in an integration between GOG and Discord, an integration would be profitable.
B. A large number of GOG's users would not be interested in an integration between GOG and Discord.
C. An integration between GOG and Discord would not be largely profitable for GOG.
3. GOG is not interested in an integration between it and Discord.
The reason for B is that, for one thing, there isn't very many multiplayer games on here which would require use of Discord or some other similar voicechat service. If you look into other threads (for example, currently, the "Virtual Items" thread), you'll see why there's not many multiplayer games here: GOG's userbase doesn't want them, considering them to be DRM of a sort.
For another thing, why is an integration even necessary? Why would you and the other person not just make a Discord account and use it separate from GOG? I use Discord and play a lot of multiplayer games with other users on here, and that's exactly what we do.
