[Request] Ability to Send ActivityType

Is there any reason why the replacement for the RichPresence API still doesn't have the option to set the the Activity Type to something other than "Playing a game"? There are a lot more music applications than Spotify out there that could use this functionality.

This has been stated on multiple occasions by some Discord Staff, particularly with the Watching Activity Type as it still is in a state of limbo. We can only RECEIVE ActivityTypes from for example Relationships, but that's it. I agree sending our own types is great and would enhance the experience but the unknowns are still undecided. This is just what I've heard before. But as advaith1 has said, has been mentioned multiple times. Hopefully Discord allows us this access eventually.,,
