Bloomberg News announced that Microsoft Corp is in talks to buy messaging app Discord Inc for more than $10 billion, citing sources familiar with the matter.
According to the report, Discord has approached potential buyers, including Microsoft, and one of them is more likely to go public than sell itself, according to people familiar with the situation.
