      I know there’s a lot of „wait, it was still here?“ But this kinda sucks. I don’t know of any other animation software that is quite so approachable for beginners just wanting to learn. (They yearly subscription not withstanding.)

      Nothing screams well-managed company like announcing that a product is going to be discontinued with less than 30 days notice then turning around and calling takesies backsides.

      This is stupid marketing on their side.

      They can honestly mechanically do the same thing but designate the app as non-supported in the future but still available for download for subscribers. They can even promise to make it open source in the future and do some good brownie points to their already crapped on subscribers, without even a significant extra cost.

      So out of touch.

      so basically, they’re saying „we’re really unreliable, better to use this extended time to learn a new program on the side so you can ditch us in a few months, we don’t want your money anyway“

    6. LostInLittleroot on

      So no new features but bug fixes for the indefinite future. It’s nice and all but I’m sure they’ll try and axe it again in a couple years.

      I imagine the studios using Animate will still jump ship to a new program anyways.

      Speculation I saw on Bluesky: they got yelled at by at least Disney, maybe Netflix, and probably some other big names in animation.

    9. ApathyMoose on

      I’m sure they will continue to add lots of features and work REAL hard on the product they totally didnt really wanna kill until everyone finds an alternative /s

      Adobe doing dumb shit in the first place and then having to clean up a mess later? Color me shocked…

    11. RigasTelRuun on

      Presumably they had stats on how many people were using and paying for it.

      >Adobe ~~reverses decision~~ delays discontinuation

      They’re still going to get rid of it – they’re just going to wait for a „better“ time to tell you.

    13. nuttageyo on

      People were probably learning how to keep Animate after the discontinuation 🏴‍☠️

    14. Different-Age-1253 on

      If someone has the skills to make an alternative, this is the time to do it

    17. Scyth3 on

      They still make Dreamweaver. Let that sink in. At least Animate fit their „creative“ portfolio for graphics stuff.

    18. recontitter on

      Hopefully they will open-source it at some point and we will have 2d animation and authoring tool like blender 3d. Probably they don’t make any significant money out of it anyway.

    19. chefox on

      The Reddit post doesn’t seem to say the decision was reversed. They just explained what it means for the product to be in maintenance made.

      Adobe isn’t in a position to piss off their user base. They’re currently operating on borrowed time with their crazy subscription prices as technologies and opportunities to break away from their services are approaching.
