    Adobe would run Figma to the ground if it was acquired.

    ”While Adobe and Figma shared a vision to jointly redefine the future of creativity and productivity, we continue to be well positioned to capitalize on our massive market opportunity and mission to change the world through personalized digital experiences.”

    I vehemently don’t want Adobe to achieve any of these things.

    I am thrilled to see an example of regulators actually putting work into blocking monopolistic mergers. Hopefully this is the beginning of many.

      The CMA in the UK thankfully is independent of parliament, and therefore has a fighting chance of actually being competent.

      Figma sounds a LOT like “fityma” in my language, which means foreskin.

      If I read it right, Adobe is going to pay Figma a billion dollars since the deal didn’t go through. Good for Figma?
