It was bought by microsoft, that's what went wrong.
Microsoft is the EA of the Software world. It's where companies and ideas go to die.
Google: “Am I a joke to you??”
Google has a bigger graveyard, but it's mostly their stuff.
Microsoft and EA's graveyards are full of those they acquired.
Yeah anyone who used Skype at the time immediately knew what went wrong
Exactly.
Sure, but Skype was shit even before that. It had great potential though, could have become another whatsapp.
I use both daily.
It's sad that Skype is more reliable and usable.
