Well, there it is. Not quite there yet, but at least there’s a date.

- Comment on Former 343 Industries QA Blames Microsoft Policies For Poor Xbox Exclusives 1 month ago:
TL;DR Microsoft has a strict policy of only hiring contractors to work on Halo, and only keeping those contractors for 18 months before they’re forced to go. Something something Microsoft execs want to be able to fire people.
One thing to note that seems to be missing from the article: Halo Infinite uses a custom game engine (Slipspace). So when these contractors are hired, they spend so much time training that they don’t end up working as a skilled employee for very long before they leave, then new contractors are hired.
It’s so stupid since this is so obviously a lose-lose situation: the contractors gain a skill that is useful literally nowhere else, and Microsoft’s games just keep getting shittier.

The desktop client logs and sends lists of currently running processes by default, and they also collect usage data (which channels you open, how long for, who you’re interacting with). In the settings, there’s literally an option for “Use data to customize my Discord experience”. And sure, they don’t show ads, but their third-party integrations do. Article with sources
In the end, processing and storing millions of texts, images, videos and files permanently, and hosting all those live voice and video calls, and making updates to the clients, will always cost more than what they get from Nitro and server boosting. Discord isn’t profitable; they have to make the deficit up to shareholders somehow.

At least you can block some of the telemetry with uBlock or similar
