The $ 12 billion contract between Microsoft and Discord collapsed, and the chat software for gamers who wanted to issue shares

According to some insider sources, the Discord deal to buy back Discord for $ 12 billion proposed by Microsoft did not bear fruit. Microsoft intends to turn Discord into “a place to chat”, not merely a tool to serve gamers’ communication needs.

Also according to the above-mentioned unnamed source, Discord refused because it intended to issue shares, considering long-term development.

There is also unofficial news that Twitter has also considered buying Discord. In recent weeks, gamers’ mass chat software has also been brought to the table, with a sky-high price of $ 15-18 billion, but there is no official confirmation from either side.

Representatives from Discord, Microsoft and Twitter all declined to comment.
