Report Claims Microsoft is Acquiring Discord for $10 Billion

Microsoft is showing no signs of slowing its acquisition of massive names to shore up proposed weaknesses with its gaming offerings. Now, Microsoft is looking to further gain ground in a move that could fundamentally impact both console and PC gamers.

While readily struggling against Sony in the console wars of the PlayStation 4/Xbox One generation, Microsoft has picked up RPG-juggernaut Bethesda in a move to strengthen the corporations' offerings in the incoming consumer war. This came with Bethesda titles being offered in the Xbox Game Pass, where gamers on both console and PCs could play all titles (mostly sans DLC) for a monthly subscription. Microsoft has stated that it is continuing to seek acquisitions to help bolster its strength for the modern generation of gaming, and is maneuvering immediately for the next reported acquisition.
