It initially became popular among gamers and streamers, but is now used by communities ranging from sports fans and music groups to cryptocurrency investors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our goal is to bring the Discord and PlayStation experiences closer together on console and mobile starting early next year,&#8221; Ryan said in a blog post here.<\/p>\n<p>Sony and Discord did not disclose the value of the investment.<\/p>\n<p>Discord has over 140 million monthly users and its business model relies on a premium subscription service. In December, the company raised $100 million in a private funding round that valued it at $7 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/discord-investment-sony\/messaging-app-discord-ties-up-with-sonys-playstation-idUSL4N2MQ2R3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 3 (Reuters) &#8211;
