Discord's latest update has ruffled more than a few feathers, but automatically turning on the new Game Overlay is the change I couldn't get behind.

Here’s how it works. Discord is getting a major update today that includes a "completely new version" of the chat app's in-game overlay, as well as new themes and options for the desktop client.
