Discord seems to have some way to integrate games with game lobby functionality now. Mabe worth a look for multiplayer games too?

QuoteRich Presence allows you to leverage the totally overhauled "Now Playing" section in a Discord user's profile to help people play your game together. Rich game data—including duration, score, current boss or map, and so much more—lives inside Discord. You can spectate a friend's game directly from their profile popout, or party up via beautiful chat embeds with real-time information about open party slots and the party's in-game status. No more exchanging usernames and friend codes, or wondering if there's room for you to join. Rich Presence is a living invitation to play together, or to watch your friends kick butt.
That is interesting.
Discord seem to be becoming the place for IRC stuff nowadays.
