☆ Microsoft хочет купить Discord за 10 миллиардов долларов

Сервис для видео- и голосовых чатов Discord ведёт переговоры с возможными покупателями, среди которых Microsoft, пишет Bloomberg со ссылкой на источники. По словам одного источника, Discord скорее выйдет на биржу и станет публичной, чем продаст бизнес, пишет vc.ru. У Discord около 140 млн пользователей в месяц, а выручка в 2020 году составила $130 млн, хотя компания пока не прибыльна, сообщала The Wall Street Journal. Discord бесплатный, но компания зарабатывает деньги за счёт подписок Nitro — $9,99 в месяц с пользователя. По словам источников, близких к Microsoft, компания пытается нарастить активы, которые обеспечат ей доступ к большим сообществам пользователей: в 2020 году она хотела купить TikTok и вела переговоры о приобретении Pinterest.
