sure mumble can deal with like 1000 people, but you have to dick around with managing stupid bullshit like turning off 'xxgayfuckeryy has entered your channeled. dicksucker68+1 has left your channel' and logging into the server and all this stupid stuff/registering, whatever.

on skype you just add a friend and call them and its over. if you want more people you just add them to the call. and then you game.

plus video chat which extends to games of all kinda, not video games

MMO goons are among the most seasoned of voice chatters.

I spent so long in irony echo chambers like badgame and the rapid decay era of YCS that when I see or hear normal goons in chats and voice chats and the jokes they tell and so on I have a hard time coping with reality.
