I'm not sure if Discord has a specific reason for this, but all images relating to a Rich Presence status have to be uploaded to Discord's servers before you can use them in one. If they don't, I don't see why the images served to Discord can't just be a direct URL to an image file somewhere on the web. Something like this is really nice for someone like me who has been creating a music player and wants to display music metadata in a Rich Presence status. I can include everything except something like an album cover. If something like this were to come in the future, I'd greatly appreciate it.
