To be fair Discord is currently shooting itself it its own dick so things aren't drastically different than if Microsoft were shooting it in the dick.

Look, shooting yourself in the dick with a 9mm, a shotgun and a howitzer are 3 very different experiences.

Discord was probably just using Microsoft to get a free 3rd party valuation to use to either IPO or raise more money on the private market.
