I could believe this but if so why wouldn’t Figma fight to get the deal through? $20B is a lot to leave on the table, assuming they’d already emotionally accepted to lose control of the company? Why settle for the $1B “fuck off” consolation?

What would you want Figma to do that Adobe cannot do itself?

In the end 3 probes is way too much legal tape for even Adobe to step into hence the abandoned deal being cheaper in the long run than fighting to acquire Figma.
