AAA games aren't a sure thing no matter how much money you spend. MS should have shown you that by now.Imagine how many great AAA games could be done with 10b...

Infrastructure and data harvesting for advertising.Just move to China you commie.
I don't really know why MS would want Discord, I assume the creators of Discord are ready to cash out.
Lol I hate commies.
But I don’t like MS taking over gaming either
yes, do it... like you did Skype ! and Hotmail! and Lync, and MSN messenger...Do it , M soft
I was replying to the context of a guy comparing this (rumored) acquisition to Mixer. Mixer was also originally purchased by Microsoft as Beam.Linkedin and github were succesful business that Microsoft purchased... hence the enormous amounts of money they paid.
Mixer is what happens when MS tries to start something from the ground up.

Microsoft didn't ruin Skype, they just didn't do enough to save it.
Are we talking about the day I opened Skype and it had been transformed from a regular-looking desktop Windows application to some rainbow-vomit mobile app wannabe with a wildly different interface? Because that was literally the day I told myself I'd never use Skype again and found Discord.Microsoft basically had to throw out their Windows app out at one point and so they rebuilt it using a new framework (not UWP).
You need to download the Skype Desktop directly from the site and not the one on Windows Store... that one is crap.Are we talking about the day I opened Skype and it had been transformed from a regular-looking desktop Windows application to some rainbow-vomit mobile app wannabe with a wildly different interface?

and how is wishing they remain independent incompatible with them looking for a buyer or reading the article ?If you read the article, its Discord themselves trying to find a buyer.
LinkedIn became even more annoying after they bought it.I'm not too fond of this. Skype started going to shit with terrible changes after MS bought them.
I have never used Windows Store. And this happened several years ago.You need to download the Skype Desktop directly from the site and not the one on Windows Store... that one is crap.
It s so weird that Windows Store version because it need to reopen every time you need to open a chat even with it at tray... the Skype from the site stay on background so you have all opened like a normal chatter app.
Well you won't believe how the Windows Store version is (it is the one installed by default on Windows 10)I have never used Windows Store. And this happened several years ago.
Hey boyWish I can find a sugar daddy as rich and generous as Microsoft.
But when the buzz didn’t move over, Microsoft doubled down on trying to make it compete with everyday communication apps, while sacrificing the thing that made it most useful: reliable video calling. “They did a redesign of the app and tried to make it a bit more sexy, young and fresh to compete with the WhatsApps and Telegrams of the world,” says Carolina Milanesi, analyst at Creative Strategies. However, by integrating a raft of new features – including “mojis”, Skype’s version of emojis, as well as various features borrowed from Snapchat, the developers lost their way and didn’t focus on the core functionality of making sure the video call quality remained. One much-maligned review of the app in June 2017 saw the average app store rating for Skype drop from 3.5 stars to 1.5 stars.
In response, Skype issued an apologetic blog post. “Sometimes when big companies develop products they just have a bit of feature creep,” explains Om Malik, partner at investment company True Ventures. “They just managed to muck it up all along.” Malik was a massive advocate of Skype until the redesign. “It was so terrible, that was the last time I used Skype. I just got fed up of trying to use that application. The whole thing got convoluted, the interface got worse, and the performance got terrible. It just lost the ease of use it used to have.”
Zoom is pretty good.... it has less features than Teams but it is way lighter and preferred for video calls, desktop sharing and remote assistence.For reference, I found a Wired UK article that talked about the changeover.
How Skype lost its crown to Zoom
Skype should have dominated lockdown communications, but now we’re all stuck on Zoom calls. What went wrong?www.wired.co.uk
Facebook and YouTube are the ones eating twitche's lunch (mainly Facebook I believe).Mixer failed, since Twitch is too big. It was too late to compete with it. I don't think Discord has similar competition in the consumer space.
We have both where i workZoom is pretty good.... it has less features than Teams but it is way lighter and preferred for video calls, desktop sharing and remote assistence.
It is because I'm receiving messages when I'm doing nothing... there are tons of notifications too... and it is not just small messagens... it is wall texts together with images and stuffs.We have both where i work
zoom use less memory for sure but my team use no cpu when i do nothing unlike yours.
Also teams is an electron app advatages of it come with other costs.
So it's not doing nothing...It is because I'm receiving messages when I'm doing nothing... there are tons of notifications too... and it is not just small messagens... it is wall texts together with images and stuffs.
So even in backgound it is using the CPU.
I'm not using it.So it's not doing nothing...
You...you always redefine everything in the strangest way.
Lol at people bragging about a company money, dude you aint gonna get a dime sonHahahaha. And people thought MS were done spending. People said they couldn’t afford to spend any more! Told ya they had plenty of lettuce. $2.5b more than Zenimax and it ain’t even a game publisher/studio.
meanwhile Sony bought Evo….lol. Sony getting another showing up.
It is too slow even in high-end PCs... it make my work slower because it always frooze to make anything (I end it when I don't need to use and my PC become so fast) and my development tools get slowed because the Teams is using too much memory and CPU.
It is confusion... I'm signed to different organizations and the way it works is a pain.
Voice and video is good when it works.... most of time I have to try again because it fails to enters in video conference rooms... the remote desktop feature is lagged.
I mean it is the complete opposite of the simplicity of the Skype Business... here at work when Teams start to be an issue I ask people to change to Skype or Zoom (Zoom is very very good for video conference and remote desktop sharing).
It is the default App in the company I work.
Yeap... I know and Skype Business was vastly superior to Teams.
Teams is counter-productive and Skype Business not.
Already tried to use a Virtual Machine with Teams opened?
It's ethomaz.That's a bit surprising to me. We use Teams every day in our software development team, it always runs in the background on our PCs, and every morning for our morning meetings via vpn, and our 4000+ employee-sized business uses it for company wide meetings and all-hands-on monthly, can't remember even a single time it had a hiccup..
MS, acquire and ruin, who needs organic growth? What a shitty company. Enjoy the news Xbox cucks.
Mine is ~ 1200 and i have a low number of teams subscriptions with 17.That's a bit surprising to me.

I know Discord is huge BUT I actually haven't the slightest clue what it's about.
i'm really curious now, what is this app with a better UX ?Chat with a shitty interface. At least when I tried it. Perfect example of how a fool can be parted with his money.
I'd rather it stay that way. I very much like it with people having their own space to chat and have fun. MMO raiding discords are well organized too.Never heard of discord.
Whose the fool here in this sentence? lolChat with a shitty interface. At least when I tried it. Perfect example of how a fool can be parted with his money.
This is the best gist of your entire post history.Fk this company seriously
Enough already. I mean it is DISCORD's to sell. Seriously though they're just scooping things up and you have to wonder if they've actually got a plan for this or - as someone alluded above - if it is just another data source to add to their trove and mine further advertising insights from.

My plan was better and for it to be the community/chat product integrated everywhere to gather us allMS's ad business isn't that important to them. Nobody spends $10 billion to scrub some data from chats lol
Discord has 150 million monthly users, a huge chunk of them gamers using the service to stream games, socialize about games, use voice chat features while gaming...
It's not really a mystery what "plan" MS would have w/ it..

Microsoft outsource most of their advertising to Verizon, that's how little they care.MS's ad business isn't that important to them. Nobody spends $10 billion to scrub some data from chats lol

That's their lunch money. Their revenue for 2020 was $143 Billion.That's almost their whole yearly revenue. Damn.
It's still harvested information they make money off of. All the big companies do this.Microsoft outsource most of their advertising to Verizon, that's how little they care.
DAMN there is so much hate in here lol...just calm down everyone, Sony will eventuallymaybeacquire something maybe,oneday, something meaningful.
Definitely but all data can used to make money via improving features to predicting trends.It's still harvested information they make money off of. All the big companies do this.
