Bloomberg and Venturebeat report that the company Discord Inc., Owning the messenger of the same name, is negotiating with potential buyers. Among those there are Microsoft, However, before the final transaction (if it takes place at all) still far.
According to Bloomberg, Microsoft can pay more than $ 10 billion for Discord. The analysts of the site believe that the messenger will be an excellent addition to the corporation’s game unit, they say, Xbox is now led towards the software and services, and the Nitro subscription from Discord would look great in the Xbox Game Pass bonus list and increase the attractiveness of the service.
As Bloomberg analysts say, in the near future a gaming unit Microsoft will continue to make purchases to increase the value of Xbox Game Pass and lure more and more subscribers.
However Discord Inc. may disagree with the deal. The media say that earlier negotiations on the acquisition of Discord were also carried out with Epic Games And Amazon. In 2018, the cost of Discord ranged from $ 2 billion to $ 6 billion, but potential buyers wanted to increase the monetization of the messenger-despite their very popularity, Discord still does not bring profit.
For example, during the negotiations, someone urged to add advertising. But the top Discord Inc. I thought that all the offers heard to increase profitability contradict the values of the messenger, so it is better to maintain independence for the time being for the time being.
Maybe now something has changed, and Discord Inc. agrees to become part of one of the corporations. Or maybe the company will stumble on the exchange and make public placement of shares. Be that as it may, the media emphasize that current offers to buy (including from Microsoft) are in the early stages of discussion.

The best comments
If we sell, we expect another murdered messenger, Skype asked to convey hello.
Skype asked to convey another
When you are too lazy to develop Skype, and you found yourself younger, yes Microsoft)))
Skype began to change T -shirts after the purchase, it began to buggy. The functions that users were actively used began to cut out, to change the design to little understandable and not intuitive, and then the discord drove up.
You buy Discord -> Access to https://luckylouis-casino.co.uk/ technologies, a team of developers and the entire user base, which is already using this service. There are now more than 300 million registered users, which can be considered very fertile soil for monetization.
Plus Discord has already become a brand, and they always pay well for a recognizable name.
No no no n one nope
If the development of Discord will be engaged in the same people who are responsible for the company’s game unit, then it may be a better situation than Skype.
as a profile application for gamers.
Not anymore. They began to use everything in a row. It is only in words, therefore they changed politics.
P. S. Yes, there are like specialized things, but the application is convenient and with them and without them.
Again, the brilliant SG-components gave out a ton of identical comments about Skype, which, by the way, even positioning was different. It is only a pity that completely different people are already engaged in the current development, and, led by Files, who shows herself an extremely competent person, like his wards, and is unlikely to repeat the mistake of his predecessors.
But you must overshadow, yes, especially if you take into account that before the transaction is like before the moon.
I don’t understand how something that does not bring profit can cost 10 billion?
Rip Discord. For Skype … without clinking.
And who said they will not?
I have not yet seen 1 case that after acquiring something from filing fil, something got worse, especially with the user. Xbox Network unit leads to guess who. Therefore, I personally do not see reasons for panic or the references of Skype, at the moment I am only glad of such a deal and there is nothing to condemn it for. Otherwise these "majority cases" where the statistics? From the fact that the negative information water is shown, you remember it, and positive, with rare exceptions, do not remember or even do not even know? Every day, the corporation is buying someone and the consumer does not even suspect, and you are talking about some "majority".
I do not argue that you may be right and it will be bad, I will go to whine with everyone then, but what to whine now – I don’t understand, I’m sorry.
And turn it into the same trash as Skype? No, thanks
This is wonderful, friend, that you have a good memory, only it should not be guided by some logic, I think.
And then buying Series X is also stupid and do not need to believe Phil, otherwise you saw what they did after the Xbox360 with Xbox One? My memories are still fresh. The nonsense is true? Here is the statements about Skype in the context of what is happening nonsense, the majority just have nothing to say, and something to write right, the ass is burning as you want, everyone is original, smart, the first to joke or “disappoint”.
Oh yelling then … when Github T -shirts bought, too, I remember, the ora among the developers were before heaven. Even some large projects moved to other platforms. True, then almost everyone returned. Because nothing of the kind has changed since then. Hithab both developed and develops in approximately the same vein.
Here you need to understand two points. Firstly, a similar halo around the shirts has developed due to several large fakaps in the past, from the moment of which a lot of water has flowed and management of different levels has already managed to change several times. And partly this halo is generally artificial. Cited here by everyone as an example of Skype is at least bad, but exists. While some Google literally burns or breaks his next projects every week. But for some reason the evil corporation-T-shirts. Secondly, T-shirts are a huge corporation, so it plays a much greater role here, which particular unit will be engaged in the project. And it is quite obvious that the discord or something like this is most likely for their game unit. It is they who, in accordance with the chosen strategy for the formation of a single gaming platform not tied to iron, need a service for communication between cross -platform players with each other. So that the PC Gamer, and the person from boxing, and the user of the cloud service could communicate comfortably, playing together. In general, T -shirts will release the version of the discord (or its replacement, if they do not agree with it) for all the platforms where their game services are present, and also integrate it into these same services. I see nothing wrong with that.
Not very pleasant news.
Discord still does not bring profit.
Microsoft can pay more than $ 10 billion for Discord
Well, that’s just the profit for all years drove up. Yes, such that you can forget about work forever. It seems to me that the deal will take place.
Now the discord will cause a blue death screen?
Mixer would like to warn Discord, but he has long sailed a river of dead.
