Discord has a permanent spot in most of our taskbars, but even those who haven’t accepted the ubiquitous chat app into their lives may soon be using its services directly in the games they play (or possibly already are). Today, the company is launching the Discord Social SDK. It’s a free way for game developers…
A long time ago (September 2021) in a galaxy far, far away (a PlayStation Showcase) the mad lads at Aspyr announced they were remaking Knights of the Old Republic, BioWare’s brilliant Star Wars RPG from 2003.
