Typo in developer terms

apex2504 commented 5 months ago

Description

It appears there's a large typo in the new developer terms, specifically here

(i) support purchase of such features or capabilities through Discord’s Premium Apps products; and,

(ii) offer such features or capabilities at prices on Discord that are no higher than the prices at which they are offered through other payment options.

I assume this must have been a mistake for a number of reasons

Requiring price parity is terrible when the monetisation feature set of Discord is worse than competing platforms (such as Patreon) with higher fees to boot.
Requiring price parity is unreasonable when the terms also state that Discord will charge their own markup for purchases made on mobile.
Bots providing NSFW content seem to no longer be allowed to monetise because Discord does not allow users to monetise NSFW bots with the built-in system, but they also can't monetise with other systems because of point (i).

It's a shame that this mistake wasn't picked up through the several layers of lawyers you presumably have but I don't believe Discord would intentionally want to alienate the people giving its platform most of it's value so I'm looking forward to this mistake being rectified!

Sincerely, Someone giving value to your platform

@jkcailteux Why was this closed? Surely you aren't saying that these changes were intentional? I refuse to believe my favourite development platform would be this out of touch... Very worrying!

While I don't necessarily disagree with your points, sarcastically framing this as a "typo" or "bug" is not helpful to the discussion.

This is a place to report bugs.
