Microsoft Buying Discord, Sega, Konami, and Every Game in Sight
51Microsoft is in negotiations to acquire Discord -- a messaging app for gamers -- for $10 billion, Bloomberg reported Monday. That followed an earlier report by VentureBeat that the San Francisco-based company had received interest from several buyers.
Launched in 2015, the chat app built initially for gamers has been steadily expanding outside that world as it is increasingly being used by YouTube personalities, podcasters, hackers and more. Overall, the company says it counts more than 250 million registered users.
Once the news broke out that Microsoft was looking to buy out Bethesda, most of us were taken aback. But upon further thought, we realized that it was a decision that made a lot of sense for everyone involved. It seems as though that was just the start, with Microsoft supposedly looking to acquire both Konami and SEGA as well.
