Anything that plays on nostalgia like Discord/Teams/New Servers is a threat to their bottom line. They consider the current project to be old enough that the people engaged in it have played it out, and/or are druggie diehards. Basically no money in them, so the project can remain as is.

Its stating the obvious, but most people haven't accepted it yet as real life.

Will they throw Rogean a bone and let him open Discord at least? Probably some day. Its a minority server and doesn't compete with any of Daybreak's planned offerings. But the fact they have stopped it on account of Phinigel's release says Daybreak isn't taking any chances.

Its possible the project could be frozen for the next 10 years as Beastagoog suggests. Again, stopping the Discord rollout speaks to how tense Daybreak is about this. Discord doesn't technically compete directly with modern Daybreak offerings.

It was a bittersweet agreement. Some benefits, some negatives.
