Adobe DROPS Figma merger (I predicted this last year)

Last year, the software GIANT Adobe announced that it's buying the up-and-coming design platform Figma. That deal has now been abandoned. In this video that I made shortly before the announcement last year, we take a deep dive into the impending merger of Adobe and Figma, which was expected to cost $20 billion, making it the biggest ever acquisition of a private software company. The deal garnered a lot of attention and raised concerns among antitrust regulators, who did oppose the merger, as I expected. As an antitrust lawyer, I discuss the complexities of merger control law and explain how antitrust regulations work to ensure competition in the market. We explore the significance of this merger, its potential implications, and the possible outcomes. If you're interested in learning more about antitrust laws and how they impact mergers, be sure to watch this video until the end.
