Report: Discord ends acquisition talks with Microsoft

Microsoft’s bid to buy Discord is over — for now, at least. The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that the popular chat startup has ended acquisition talks with the Redmond, Wash. tech giant and others after reports surfaced last month that Discord was in final negotiations about a sale for at least $10 billion.
