- (General Dispatch) – Media outlets reported that the big tech company Microsoft is evaluating the acquisition of Discord for $10 billion, according to sources who preferred to remain anonymous.
- Bloomberg reported that the Discord Inc community is in talks with the tech giant for the sale of the platform, which was intended exclusively for gamers.
- However, a large number of non-gamers use it because they can interact through messaging, video or audio. But the community has not yet reached an agreement.
- According to experts, it may be possible to reach an agreement on the sale, since Microsoft has seen that the platform has been used for other purposes, such as study groups, reading groups, debates, work, among other virtual meetings.
- The platform has become more popular, apart from being free, the number of users who have registered has increased significantly due to the pandemic, becoming an essential tool for the user.
- Other companies such as Epic Games and Amazon have been interested in acquiring the platform, but have not yet reached a conclusion, for now the safest one to make the purchase is Microsoft.
- On the other hand the media Breitbart news announced that the platform had blocked the server r / Wall Street Bets after realizing that users were using offensive language with racist comments and later the Discord Inc community confirmed that this was the reason for the blockade.
