What kind of privilege Microsoft would get from the deal? This question stands tall. Once Microsoft crack this deal, it would let them enter into the world of gaming, where they monitor every gamer’s gaming priority and interest.

Microsoft looks into every platform, even Sony as well and such information surely help them to develop such games which fall under the gamer’s interest.

Now Where Discord Find Itself in Microsoft?

Now that’s another big question, where does Discord find itself? To this question, Martin Yang, senior analyst of emerging technologies and services at Oppenheimer shared his views.

“Microsoft could use the information about the kinds of games Discord users play the most to inform the development of titles and features at Microsoft’s first-party studios.”

Talking about the benefit of discord,

“In those cross-platform games, Discord, I would say is 90% of the time, the common denominator is the optimal chat solution,”

“So this is a very high value for all players across different platforms. And it’s the neutral ground for multiplayer gaming.”

There’s no denying, these two collaborations would surely change the dynamic for Microsoft. It would benefit them entirely to overlap the long gap between Sony and Xbox to cover. If Microsoft seals the deal, then Sony need to be cautious for the future.
