[Feature Request] Rich Presence buttons.
Game SDK does not currently utilize the buttons you can have in rich presence. It is a highly requested feature and a lot of other libraries like PyPresence have it thus encouraging people to use different libraries.
The GameSDK is meant to be used in games (i know, the name may be a bit misleading). I'm failing to see how games can benefit from custom buttons other than "Ask to Join" and similar.
Mostly advertising I presume... (Rich Presence is kind of advertising in itself). It could maybe send players to the homepage of the game to show friends of the player what the game is all about. The point is that being such a highly requested feature, I do not think there would be any harm in implementing it. (except lost time.)
For games like Jackbox Party Pack, which are hosted with a desktop PC app but joined by the players through a website, one of the buttons could allow people to open the join link their browsers.
There are also other potential use-cases like opening the game's leaderboards or opening a player's stats on a website or in-game directly.
msciotti said the API already supports this, and they're just testing with their partners before adding to SDK.
