Figma and Adobe are abandoning our proposed merger

Another way to say "decide they're against the merger" is "evaluate the situation and make a timely ruling that they oppose the merger as illegal."

Which is exactly what they were supposed to do. Adobe and Figma tried to argue with the regulators or find a compromise, but couldn't come up with a solution that satisfied all parties.

If you try to extract subtle implications from the phrasing of a commenter on HN, you're likely to jump to the wrong conclusion.

But that's the point: it's not timely. It's a massive millstone to Figma, who now have to figure out what to do with their pixel-perfect UI designer collaboration tool in a world of an and coming Adobe Firefly.
