Co-founder & CEO, Mainframe Industries
Adding the Discord Social SDK to Predecessor has been a huge win for both our players and the business. When Discord first walked us through what the SDK could do, it was an easy yes. It solved a bunch of things we were missing like built-in voice and text chat and gave us a chance to offer something our players already love and use daily, right inside our game.
CEO, Omeda Studios
