    This is so nice. What happened that made it fall?

    Edit: looked for the stock prices, and the chart at a monthly scale and up doesn’t look exciting at all

      Looks like they tried to sunset “Animate”

      Animate debuted in 1996 as FutureWave Software’s FutureSplash Animator. After a 1997 acquisition by Macromedia, FutureSplash Animator became Macromedia Flash. In 2005, Adobe bought Macromedia and renamed Macromedia Flash to Adobe Flash Professional. In 2015, the software became Adobe Animate CC. In its nearly 30 years of use, Animate has been used in numerous popular animated films and shows, including Star Trek: Lower Decks. Still, Adobe said on Monday that “new platforms and paradigms have emerged that better serve the needs of the user.”

      Maybe because they announced they were killing the Adobe Animate? That’s the only thing ive heard but I’m not in-the-know.

        That’s definitely what the image is referring to. They’ve already walked it back from “completely removing the ability to use or access the software with basically no notice” to “maintenance mode, no updates”
