Let's forget Europe and let's focus on the US market alone.
If we do the math, we have to ask - where would those 20 billion dollars come from that were to be paid by Adobe to Figma investors? I'm sure not from Adobe's coffers, their bean counters would place them onto subscription pricing with a time cap to recoup all that cost. For sure.
I would assume that regulators aren't unaware of that in the said markets (UK/Europe) and are not pro investor (few hundreds) rather pro consumers (millions)
Total investment is around 350 million dollars. Adobe is paying 20 billion dollars.
What company is making money in this?
It is the investors that poured in 300+ million were going to have a massively inflated payback day, later compensated and loaded on to the backs of unsuspecting end users.
Investors get rewarded for their early bets, and Adobe gets to bet on future profits and growth by acquiring some valuable assets and hiring some talented people this is exactly how it should work.
