AN ARTIST BACKLASH JUST SAVED ADOBE ANIMATE

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Adobe sparked backlash by announcing—with just a month's notice—that it would discontinue the 30-year-old Adobe Animate (formerly Flash), cutting off future downloads and access to users' work, despite the software's ongoing popularity and historic importance. After intense outcry from artists who warned of job losses and cultural damage, Adobe reversed the decision within 24 hours.
