Messenger Now Officially Retired, Merged With Skype

So, I have uninstalled both. I do not want a universal platform multifunction chat/video-conference/telephone application. I wanted a chat app. It was a good chat app. They killed my chat app to force me to use a system designed to steal all my contacts and monitor my social media. GO BUCK YOURSELVES MS. I will go with other competing products that will still provide what I actually wanted.
 
Before I would have thought this was a good thing, but I recently installed the metro version of Skype. Holy crap that thing is a steaming pile. How can they go from a very nice to use windows app to something so unusable?
 
I'm going to stay connected as long as I can. I don't care much for Skype. After that, it's just going to be Google talk.
 
The article and FAQ's do not address what to do if you have separate Skype and Messenger accounts. I would like to combine the two...
 
Someone told me that for example in Italy and others euro countries its still working
