In September 2022 Adobe announced plans to acquire Figma for $20 billion.

I made a video about why I believed this was inevitable back then, you can refresh it here:    • Adobe buys Figma. Figma CEO blocks me.  

But now it turns out the deal is actually NOT going through. It's cited that the reason is EU regulators not allowing to create a monopoly. But the thing is, in most cases when big corporations REALLY want something they usually just get it.

Here's my thoughts on what the real reason may be we'll see in January whether I was right or not.

Don't get me wrong I dislike Figma's policies (pricing and privacy) but I do appreciate what they did by opening up the industry to more people. I don't "hate" figma I just don't use it but always try to be objective.

It's a great, robust tool, I only wish they approached some aspects of the business in a better way.

My hope is that even if what I say in this video comes to pass, Figma will be able to reinvent themselves without adobe but in a more positive way. Without dark patterns and oddly invasive privacy policies.

That will be better for the entire industry.
