There was recent news about the software developers’ wanting to discontinue Adobe Animate but there are a lot of people who don’t want the app discontinued.

This software was used by many studios to create popular cartoons and discontinuing the app will cause major problems for the entertainment industry.

Would the software developers reconsider keeping the Adobe Animate app alive if enough people petition to have it continue?

If not, I was hoping they could create a new app that has very similar functions to it.

I fully agree- this software is incredible and powerful and started the ball for so many young animators when it was the only animation software on the internet in the 90’s. It really is amazing and so many people still use it today.

They won't. It has happened before. They have killed many good software. Hopefully all those execs that decided this will be replaced by AI bots themselves... 😠
