From PC Mag: Following social media backlash over plans to shut down its 2D animation software Animate, Adobe has reversed course and decided to keep the service running.
Instead of a complete shutdown, Adobe Animate will now be in maintenance mode for existing and new customers. It will receive security and bug fixes, but not new features.
Originally, Adobe planned to stop accepting new Animate sign-ups from March 1 and give all existing users a year (three for Enterprise users) to download their work before the service was discontinued. Following backlash on social media, however, Adobe has reconsidered its decision.
“We are not discontinuing or removing access to Adobe Animate. Animate will continue to be available for both current and new customers, and we will ensure you continue to have access to your content. There is no longer a deadline or date by which Animate will no longer be available. These are changes from what we shared in our original email,” Abode says in an updated support page.
