[Software] Possible sale of the Discord communication service to Microsoft

[SougarLord]

 

Discord has opened bids to see who buys it, and Microsoft is interested. There is nothing official, and there may be more interested buyers.

 

Discord came out several years ago as a better alternative for text communication, video calls, and voice calls. It allows you to create dedicated communities with many information channels, upload files and more elements to make it more attractive. Now, Discord is looking for buyers and this sale could be to Microsoft.

 

After Skype, Discord could be the next Microsoft communication program

Various sources close to the news have been leaking the fact that Discord may have been in meetings with Microsoft for a future purchase. And the deal could exceed $ 10 billion. But not that sale of Discord to Microsoft would not be imminent nor would it be announced in the next few days to go forward.

 

Sources claim that Discord would rather go public than sell to a sole owner. If so, they would be accountable to investors and shareholders and would have to present a viable and forward-looking business model. That would mean substantial changes that could be unpo[CENSORED]r with the many Discord communities.

 

The fact that Microsoft wants to take over Discord would be a sign that it has not been able to handle Skype and adapt it to the new times. While Skype is still a widely used tool for face-to-face family and professional conversations, its use as more than just chat, video calls, and group conversations with dedicated friends pales in the face of Discord. If Microsoft bought it, it could end support for Skype as it already did with MSN Messenger by having a more attractive messaging service for everyone. You could also integrate Discord within Microsoft services and offer Nitro within Game Pass to make the offer more attractive and even raise the price.
