definitely got greedy. i remember that they used to be a decent company way back in the day but wow how they have fallen. Very sad.
(I remember trying to use Illustrator and it was so complicated I felt like if I managed to figure it out Pinhead from Hellraiser would show up lol)

i think it was Macromedia Flash MX(?) back in the early 2000s that I first learned how to use Flash.

Yeah, its super frustrating for sure, I have all the stuff I know on Flash just baked into my brain, I have no idea what I would do art-wise without it, Id have to learn something completely from scratch again and it probably wouldnt look the same either.

so yeah, all my artwork files are .fla files since, like, over 20 years now?
So yeah, I'll run an old OS somewhere if i have to in order to still use my old-ass Adobe Flash copy, and people wonder why pirating is making a huge comeback.

Guy from Cyanide and Happiness is in the same boat as well, says he's done literally everything for the entirety of its existence in Adobe Flash/Animate

Just saw that David Firth, the guy that makes Salad Fingers, says Adobe Animate is what he makes Salad Fingers animations with so he's none too happy cuz he's been making them with it since it was still Flash.

And I will continue to use it and if Adobe somehow wants to force me to stop using it they will have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands.
There's a reason I never upgraded and I guess this is it, you giant Ass Holes.
(started using Flash when back when it was still Macromedia Flash)

Since the news of Adobe ganking Adobe Animate (formerly Adobe Flash) I want to state for the record that I've been using an old-ass copy of Adobe Flash CS3 for my art since it came out (cont.)
