      It was definitely ahead of its time! Not really sure why it faded away, I guess pressure from Steam (pun intended), and games moving to private in-game server browsers? Along with many other options for voice chat.

      Why do you think it was better than Discord today? Didn’t get to experience Xfire so genuinely curious about it’s user experience.

        It wasn’t. Nostalgia is hell of a drug

          What wasn’t feature-rich was the chat, just plain text, no emoticons or rich text or anything. Absolutely loved it.

            Agreed. Cutesy emotes are great when you aren’t trying to concentrate on multiple other things at the same time. When I’m mid-game the only chat I read needs to be static and non-moving.
