@Slasher Yuck. The problem with Microsoft buying software is that they don’t understand that discord or Skype is a product and they treat everything they buy as a feature of windows instead of a true product and they ruin it.

Flip Bunny @ Fun is cancelled

@Virgil_Deer They did way worse than that. As soon as they got Skype they started dropping the call quality enough that it became useless. On top of that Imagine the engineering hours wasted to put the service on the Microsoft platform.

@NoxyBurd They have Skype already... If they had properly upgraded and marketed it we wouldn't have stuff like Zoom But they will probably end up buying Discord because they have the cash and will put it under their empire. May help. May not. Depends on how they fund it.

@meansary321 Yea it was mostly advertising for their video chat service when Zoom started to boom either way rip Skype

Their interest in Discord more than likely entirely rests on the massive user base & in turn data. How quickly did MS change the privacy/data collection on Skype after acquiring it? How quickly did it become a lagy broken garbage because of the **** they added for data sniff?

@Slasher No thanks. I've been using discord almost every day for over 4 years now. I'd rather not have the platform fall victim to Microsoft's terrible management like they did with Skype and Mixer.

@idrykk I mean. Can't fix Skype, so why not buy the working product, dissolve it and relaunch Skype in it's place. Was the 1st thing I thought of.

@CoolKidJoeXBL @XcloudTimdog Well to be fair, Skype was used to replace MSN Messenger and is now used in enterprise in the form of Teams which evolved from Skype for Business. It's also available on Xbox as an alternative to party chat whenever that's down or unavailable.

OH and Discord chat themes. Just remembered that from Skype. You see how they did with Skype. If Microsoft acquires Discord I feel like the goodness of the service is done for.

@WeaponizedRage Skype is the same. Wym. Same crappy video service.

@G27Status They already have Skype. Why don't they use that 10 billion dollars to fix their existing apps?

the biggest problem with alternatives is that you absolutely need a ton more useful features that the thing you're making an alternative for doesn't have (like discord compared to skype) or else it will be irrelevant

@XcloudTimdog I guess it becomes obsolete, sad to say. Anytime Xbox live party's were down my friends and I would hop on Skype until it was fixed.
