Why is Discord detecting Blizzard App as a game

EDIT: Seems to be fixed as of today! Thank you for the prompt handling!


ORIGINAL POST:

Over the last couple of days Discord started showing my status as “Playing Blizzard App” whenever the Blizz app is open - even when it is minimized to the tray.
This is happening because the Blizzard App is now registered as a verified “game” in Discord itself. It shouldn’t be. There’s no reason for this.
There is no way to opt-out of showing this status only for the Blizzard App. You can either opt-out of sharing all game activity on Discord, or not.
Please remove the verified status of the Blizzard App from the Discord game list.

Yes it’s super annoying and would like a way to turn it off, somehow its being forced to stay on even if I turn it off as a registered game grrrr.

Same here, I’ve turned it off multiple times already and it keeps adding itself back…

I agree that this is more than annoying. There’s no point of verifying the Blizzard App… it’s not a game nor something you’d actively use as a tool!

Unfortunately it’s highly unlikely Blizzard would care to ‘fix’ this…

Seems like it was promptly fixed :slight_smile: Thanks devs!
