Can someone give some insight why acquisitions like this happen? Is it to take over the user base or is it actually about the product itself?
I am asking because I always hear of multi-million dollar acquisitions and wonder if apple (in this case) couldn't just create the same software themselves cheaper.
- aiaf 2y agoApple can bring in new users beyond Pixelmator's wildest dreams. This is definitely a product/talent acquisition. And Pixelmator has almost 2 decades worth of development already baked in, not sure how anyone can do it cheaper.
- prmoustache 2y ago2 decades worth of development usually also mean 2 decades worth of tech debt. Most time consuming part of development of old software is trying to go around limitations inherited from past decisions.
