      yeah i actually just discovered this revival right before posting my comment. It’s really neat! Xfire and Discord are always linked in my mind, because i literally first installed Discord because my friends were moving over from Xfire. These days, Steam Chat can do almost everything that Xfire did, so there isn’t REALLY a reason for it to exist. But i love seein that ancient UI.
