Vent was your community, playing Dota. There is a place to distinguish between the two. Fortnite having a concert in the game was what made it 'not a game' to me.

lol so if Valve made a good enough voice chat software to replace Vent, it wouldn't qualify as a game anymore?

your community is your friends. there's nothing special about the software. if it wasn't a game they wouldn't touch it.

Wonder if the question is more like "did you meet these friends (eg for the first time) through that game, or were they existing friends beforehand"?

Because, if they're existing friends then yeah... you could all just move to a new place to hang out whenever it's needed. But if you generally met each other through the platform, it's more acting like that Community thing (or at least ways. :)
