Jen Donahoe and Discord's CBO Jules Shumaker sat down to chat about how Discord is reshaping game discovery, social play, community, and monetization with powerful solutions for game businesses. Haven't tuned in to Deconstructor of Fun yet? Check out the full interview 👇 https://lnkd.in/geHCFzbc
Discord reaches 90M daily users, and more than 90% of its users play games. Jules Shumaker, Discord's Chief Business Officer, walked me through what it's building for studios. There's a lot to test and learn on the organic & paid side for game teams and marketers. Here's my Claim your server, then staff it. • Jules says 48M users a day find games through player and game profiles, and claiming your server gets you that page for free • An empty or unmoderated server reads to players as a signal about your game, so make sure someone owns moderation from day one Run the Social SDK behind a holdout. • Discord reports a 31% lift in D28 retention for linked players, plus 1.5 more game days a month • Players who link were already your most social players, so switch the features on for a random half and ask Discord to design the test with you Once you have that player, hold onto them. • Discord knows who played your game and stopped, a signal most ad platforms lack, and about half the campaigns existing games buy there go to reactivation • Give reactivation its own budget line and CPA target, and ask before you sign whether a competitor can target your lapsed players Discord's payers opt into its rewarded ads more. • Jules says payers take part in Discord ads at a higher rate than non-payers, and Discord reports 3x more positive sentiment toward its ads versus traditional formats • Test rewarded ads on your own payer segment and track IAP revenue per payer next to ad revenue, since your reward is often currency those payers would buy Zero take rate commerce still costs you margin. • Discord takes no cut, and you give Nitro subscribers a discount that comes out of your margin • Ask Discord to share the cost of that discount and confirm you own the purchase data before you sign Start Discord as a test budget within UA and live ops, with an owner and a CPA target, and push for test credits and a joint incrementality read, while Discord, which has reportedly filed for IPS, still needs the proof before it goes public. (A bonus for game marketing teams!) 🎙️ My full conversation with Jules Shumaker is on Deconstructor of Fun YouTube - https://lnkd.in/geHCFzbc Spotify - https://lnkd.in/gbi_vxaq Apple Podcasts - https://lnkd.in/gcQs5UmZ Read the full blog here - https://lnkd.in/gra5nZuM For more info check out @DiscordDevelopers on YouTube

Rust already had an active Discord community, with players averaging nearly 2 hours in-game per active day on Discord, making it a natural touchpoint throughout the player journey. Facepunch Studios built on that existing behavior by bringing official Rust in-game items directly into the Rust Discord server with Discord Social Commerce to turn that engagement into business growth, expanding its buyer base, creating compelling reasons to purchase, and extending commerce beyond active players. 🎯In the first week, 1 in 5 active Rust players clicked through to the Rust Shop* with ~4% converting to purchase. ♾️Around 1 in 4 first-week buyers came back to purchase again. 🎁10.3% of purchases came from gifting.
