Adobe bought Macromedia?
 

I was at the macromedia site today and saw the little adobe icon on top, next to the "formerly macromedia" text. Wow! I must've been living in a bubble....
Anyway, what do you think, is this good or bad? I think it's good because now we can expect even superior development tools, but the prices may skyrocket

about a year ago or so

Yep. Long while back.

Yeah, they bought them a while ago.

Also, Autodesk bought Discreet (3DS MAX) AND Alias (MAYA).

I was working in an office doing ColdFusion development a couple weeks ago and the lead CF programmer had a spaz when he saw the Adobe logo on the site and thought it was breaking news I was like fuckin hell your career is developing their products and you didn't know. Fucksakes.

LOL. might be very busy developing CF for macromedia. :1orglaugh tell him its 2006 now.

lol funny

I dont know if it's good. We are a macromedia alliance partner and now we're an Adobe alliance partner.

Personally I only hope that they will change the license prices because for some products they're very expensive.

We will see what the future might bring us ...

whoah timeline

Only last night, I was discussing the prices of some of these "suites" with my wife -- there was one that was like $1,200 -- :Oh crap

:winkwink:

yeah, happened a while ago but I think they just started bundling adobe & macromedia products with the releases of Adobe C2 and Macromedia Studio 8 - Im assuming that the next major updates will be under the adobe name. does anyone know if this is true?

So... exactly how long have you been living under a rock?

it's been a while now

lol i dident know

welcome to the internet, darling.

If your a student, they are much cheaper :thumbsup

the acquisition may have been awhile ago but they changed the site not too long ago
