Adobe, one of the largest graphics and media software companies in the world, has been on the agenda for a while with the purchase of the platform called Figma. In fact, the parties have come to an agreement. Adobe sacrificed $20 billion for Figma. However, official authorities need to approve this purchase, and the European Union does not seem to like it.
In the shadow of all this, a remarkable move came from Adobe. The company pulled the plug on the interface design program called Adobe XD, which does the same job as Figma. Actually, the situation is this; The service, which has been available through Creative Cloud until now, has been removed as of now. Users who have not purchased the Adobe XD platform so far have been unable to access this application.
Only users who have purchased in the past will be supported!
The name that made statements on the subject was Anais Gragueb, one of the company’s senior executives. Gragueb said that Adobe XD will continue to be supported for users who have already purchased the service. However, it is unknown how long this will continue. There was no official statement from Adobe on the subject.
To be frank, this move is not surprising. Because Adobe XD and Figma were two big competitors in the industry. Both platforms served the same purpose and provided similar features. Adobe’s acquisition of Figma means that XD is dysfunctional and even unnecessary. The company does not seem to want to spend more resources for Adobe XD because of this. Of course, if Adobe is prevented from buying Figma, then we may be talking about different things.
