[New Feature/Port] Game Developer Badges
Original by Saluki
I really like the Idea and personally would love to see it becoming a thing.
I think that anyone in a team affiliated with a game on the Discord Game Store should receive a "Game Developer" profile badge. If the badge was tapped it would say "Game Developer - Game Name" for clarity. (Automatically selects the largest game the person is a developer on). This feature would help confirm that someone was a game developer on the game they said they were a dev on. I would find it useful, as I wouldn't have to prove that I was the dev of my game every single time I talked to someone. Thanks!
Yes yes and yes. Make this happen, let everyone know we are the real deal, especially if verified servers are not a thing.
But there will be many people who will take advantage of this feature ... For example, you could call your game "GTA V" on Discord and thereby troll people.

Well, first of all, you won't just get a badge after buying a license, you would need to request one. That shouldn't be a problem.
I'm 100% for this, With lesser visibility recently with how Discord restructured News Channels, and Public System. The Badge will just "seal the deal" so to speak for consumers trying to find developers easier for identity reasons.
Love the idea, it would actually be a good way of proving you developed a game that is on discord without requiring other members to join the server. Would love to see this added :)
I believe the Team User flag is already stored by discord, it's just not shown on your profile. It wouldn't be a stretch to make it visible on your profile in situe with your applications name provided it passes approval. The badge alone would definately add legitimacy to developers, preventing imitation for illicit reasons among other things.
Can we get a thing cleared out - you get the badge once you pay the 25$ or after you get your page all approved

IMO it would be after the game is approved for sale/release.
I fully support that Idea, but I don't think discord is listening. Now Bots can get a badge and the developer of the bot too... Got only the feelings that the developers get pushed away.
But thumbs up for this Idea
Yeah, just do something good, please don't do anything special just for bot developers.
Give also something more special to those who have struggled to buy a Developer License to support Discord. If I may suggest, maybe add something awesome to the public servers? or all sorts of things that have been integrated into the app? :thinking:

Yeah, I think with $25, that is to verify us, right? So why not verify our servers as well so we can get vanity URLs!!
That 25$ licence isn't to verify someone. It's more like buying a stand in an outdoor market

In the docs, it says about "weeding out the trolls" that's the main reason

You could normally apply for a Verified Server that should not be included in a Badge.

We still support Discord by publishing and selling a Game on their Platform, we lost so many nice features and still getting kinda ignored IMO, Bot Devs are getting a Badge to verify their Identity and so should Developers be able to apply for one. Or they can bring back Verification for Servers. Either way, we need some way to prove we're the real devs, not just some kid that names his store the same as the real game.
For Discord Staff: I'm for a Badge but I wouldn't mind just getting back Server Verification, at least for Game Developers that use Discord as a platform to distribute their game.

I don't mean having a Developer License to get Verified, I just want the Developer License customers not to regret what they already have at a pretty expensive price. Maybe if the Discord staff sees this, and they process it, it will make people more enthusiastic to support Discord, and if possible, this also applies to those who want to publish their games on this platform. By providing a feature "more than Public Server" to its buyers.
Perhaps if you get your game approved, at the same time during the approval there should be an option to request verification if your game is approved. It would seem reasonable as you are a game developer publishing a game on their platform and one of the requirements for server verification is to be a game studio/developer. And as a game studio, it would be nice to have a vanity URL (which comes along with verification). Instead of separating the process of publishing a game on discord and applying for verification, combine the two and include the game developer badge alongside that.
By the way, it was all a small request/suggestion from me, maybe the Discord staff could consider this

If you use your license right, you can make money and not regret it
@Hibiikiii made a nice concept for the Badge
It's transparent, I just added a background.

Wow, amazing! Discord should approve this for us!

Looks sick! I want this!
Of course, we must support this because this can make us, the Developer License owners will be enthusiastic about what they have decided on this program.
I AGREE WITH HIS OTHER THAN OTHER THAN BOOSTERS, PARTNERS, AND VERIFIED ON THE CHANGE OF DISCORD THIS TIME, NEW SERVER BADGE xD
Come on, show your agreement! 😄 🔥
Or they can bring back Verification for Servers
What happened to verified servers? It still says in their footer that verification is for game developers:
If you're a Game Developer, please check out our Verified Server program.
It's closed. As everything except Bot Verification. Which totally not makes sense. @msciotti this Issue had so many people adding their opinion (27 comments) to this, can we get an answer for it or will it just be ignored? If you do not want to add this then please, get server verification open for people like us.
Let's address some comments here.
Game developers can make money on Discord. That is your benefit; bot developers have no way to directly monetize on Discord.
Buying a developer license is not to support Discord, though we appreciate the sentiment. It is the fee, like Steam and other game stores, to go through the process to get your game approved and sell it (doing transaction payouts and bank verification isn't free!)
Server Verification will come back; I do not know the specifics of the requirements. It is not my team that owns that work.
We have considered extending the Verified Bot Developer badge into a more generic Verified Developer badge, but are quite swamped with getting through verification requests at this time and therefore don't have the bandwidth to consider if we should do it and how to do it.
Please be patient--and thank you for it--as we get through the literal thousands of developers that need to apply for verification before October, when restrictions start to apply.

I fully agree that bot verification is a priority here, one of the reason bot devs want to get verified, is so that they can prove they made the bot, and so provide support, this is the same for game devs. I can tell the verification program is going to be more of a mess than the swamp of apps for just this, so, come October, bot applications and other stuff is going to come to more of a hault in other departments, maybe even affecting other teams, like game devs. Maybe opening the program up to a specific number of servers, such as ones with 50k members plus and so on, but that's not your department. Game dev badges need to be a thing or have a way to prove you own the game.
Whatever happens, us sharing a badge with bot devs will defeat the point, since, there are more bot devs than game devs, who will, inevitably take advantage of it.
We are all happy to wait for this to all be over, just good luck!
