This new look celebrates the fun friends have together while talking, playing, and hanging out on Discord.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To the untrained eye, it might not even appear like a change has taken place. The rebrand simply sees the brand adopting a darker shade of purple and blue.<\/p>\n<p>The tagline \u2018That\u2019s All Fun &amp; Games\u2019 has been used in the announcement which has brought on a whole lot of laughs from users.<\/p>\n<p>In the YouTube video announcement, one of the top comments says: \u201cIt\u2019s all fun and games until someone leaks private NATO documents in the server.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe title=\"Discord - Group Chat That\u2019s All Fun &amp; Games\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7V5jdOjWVU4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Another person writes: \u201cThat\u2019s All Fun &amp; Games until you realize the Group Chat gets recorded by <a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/discord-releases-update-in-bid-to-boost-communication-in-app\/\">Discord Staff<\/a> cough,\u201d and someone else puts: \u201cIt\u2019s all fun and games until Discord puts more free features behind a nitro paywall.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><b>Not everyone loves the Discord update<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not all fun and games though, as some people have been left wondering why the instant messaging platform has to be changed once more.<\/p>\n<p>In the comments of the same YouTube video, someone writes: \u201cso they started with Discord being game-focused, then they rebranded to being community-focused, and now they\u2019re going back to being game-focused.
