I didn't say that. I said why pick Discord from the myriad of other solutions?
What's wrong with a tried and tested open forum? Hell, a lemmy server or even subreddit would suffice.
because of the numbers of users (most likely gamers who have friends already on the platform as well) who already have discord? idk
Would you use Windows just because all your friends do? (aka. would you jump out of a window if all your cool gamer friends did?)
If Discord was not available in Linux or browser then yes, I would use Windows because all my friends do.
