This is interesting, but what I actually find even more interesting than this is Spotify continuing it's usage of Google Cloud products even after being acquired by Microsoft. Can anyone shed some light as to why this is the case? Has that acquisition not been a "traditional" MS acquisition?

- lucasverra 7y agoSpotify is not a Microsoft asset
- npad 7y agoMicrosoft doesn’t own Spotify. It seems there were rumours they might be acquired by MS around the time of the IPO but nothing came of it.
- luhn 7y agoThere was some news about Microsoft acquiring Spotify in April 2018, but as far as I can tell that never went through.
- dundun 7y agoThere was also a breaking story about Google acquiring Spotify on the exact same date a year later!

- kevsim 7y agoAssuming you mean the “acquisition” that was rumored around the time of Spotify’s IPO, you may want to check the date of that article: April 1, 2018 https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2018/04/01/spotify-microsoft-acquisition-billions/ https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2018/04/01/spotify-microsof...
