Recently it was reported in the news that Microsoft is exploring a potential acquisition of Discord for about $10 billion, according to Bloomberg. The news followed a report Monday by VentureBeat that the chat platform used by video game players is looking into a potential sale.

Discord declined to comment on the reports.

After Microsoft’s recent $7.5 billion purchase of ZeniMax Media Inc., owner of The Elder Scrolls and Doom publisher Bethesda Softworks, an acquisition of Discord would signal the Redmond, Washington-based software giant’s willingness to keep investing in its video-game unit.

“We expect Xbox to remain acquisitive to keep bolstering the value proposition of Game Pass and drive subscriptions higher,” Kanterman said.

Discord reached out to Microsoft to gauge interest, and Xbox chief Phil Spencer has been talking to the company, according to one person. The company raised $100 million at a $7 billion valuation last year, according to Pitchbook.

The point is that being bought by a huge company like Microsoft would take everything away from Discord that made it so popular. The point is that Discord is not a technology mega-corporation. Discord really does puts users first and foremost.
