I know zero people on discord and 100% of my contacts are on Skype.

It's still primarily a "gaming" voicechat/messaging system, but the software is all there, it just needs expansion. I'd be surprised if some sort of enterprise-grade discord didn't come about.

I suspect they're hoping to get bought by someone like Twitch or Steam which have otherwise relatively rudimentary chat capabilities, but is squarely in the gaming space.

As a Silicon Valley startup with no viable business plan (charging for themes and chat emojis? at some point "in the future"?), I strongly suspect being acquihired is their exit plan.
