Windows Live Messenger is being discontinued mainly because it is not viable in today's society and technological time. Companies such as Skype and AIM and even FaceBook are taking over. Skype, who is taking over the messenger system, is being used because "Messenger" users will be able to instant message and video call their friends. Basically, it's to make the whole thing easier for the two groups to just download 1 app instead of 2, and you get way more benefits.

This is what led to the discontinuation of Messenger across the world, excluding mainland China.
