Haven't tried a GOG game. Hang on.

Not the one I just started.

Presumably at some point you linked your Steam account to Discord,
possibly to use their voice chat at some point? Check your Discord
profile (reportedly under the 'connections') and look for your Steam
name there.

Alternatively, make your Steam profile private. It won't delink your
accounts but Discord will no longer be able to pull new information,
such as your activity on Steam or your game library.

Go to settings -> gear icon

Scroll all the way down to "Activity settings"

Choose "Activity Status"

Untick "Display current activity as a status message."

Discord will still know what you're playing, but won't broadcast it to
the world.
