Discord is a great fit for Amazon, because Discord+Twitch means they've cornered gaming and can even begin to push into Steam's territory.

Amazon will have a large vertical slice of gaming culture that Steam simply doesn't.

Given Steam chat languished for years and is still 1/100th of Discord, I don't think Valve care.

There are so many 'good fits' as you can fit almost any narrative in a ppt

Potential acquirers I could think: Roblox, Elic, SalesForce (Slack), Twilio (Segment CRM), Twitter, Zoom, Peloton (?)
