Figma and Adobe are abandoning our proposed merger

But Figma isn’t a vampiric company dumping free services for the purpose of a fast exit. It’s been around for over a decade and charges _more_ for its principal product than Adobe charges for comparable products.

So by your own definition, real companies are affected by this!

I didn't know Figma was going bankrupt, is it?

I don’t see the relevance of that question: outcomes for companies fall onto positivity/negativity ranges beyond merely a bankrupt / not bankrupt bjnary.

The company will probably do well for the reasons you mentioned, only some late shareholders are affected. A good exit for the economy would be actually an IPO.

I'm also ok with mega corps not buying smaller companies. It encourages further mega-corpification.
