Users can also create wishlists for game items and send in-game items as gifts through direct messages. If Discord becomes a public company, it will face financial scrutiny, so these additions also present a new monetization opportunity for both Discord and game developers.

Worse still, Jin noted he was a paid subscriber to ChatGPT’s $200 per month Pro…
