Figma and Adobe no longer see a path toward regulatory approval

Fifteen months into the regulatory review process, Figma and Adobe no longer see a path toward regulatory approval of our proposed acquisition.

    Shot down by the CMA. Absolutely based.

    Adobe must’ve been sure it’d get through because their own competing software has had barely any updates in the past year. Sucks to be them I guess.

      I was very disappointed when Adobe tried to acquire figma, I switched from XD to figma only to minimize my digital experience from Adobe. It’s a great news

      I don’t like the lack of a native app on Figma. Also, the lack of offline files.

      But it wasn’t Adobe. So fuck them.

      Then I heard they were buying Figma and that was the last straw. I switched to Lunacy (by icons8). It’s got a native app for Windows, works offline AND supports Figma project importing 😁😁😁. I miss the Figma plugin store, NGL. But I can just add stuff to a Figma project and then import into Lunacy at this point 😂

          I didn’t know about any licensing problems with Lunacy.

          Penpot I’m waiting for the desktop app. It’s dope and I await the native apps 🤞🏼

    AI-butchered headlines are my favorite headlines. After a while of baker and bread baking the bread after fifteen minutes. And how!
