Adobe should have a dedicated discount for retired seniors. It’s greedy to charge corporate rates to loyal customers

Question

Many of us have been loyal, paying users of Adobe software for decades during our professional careers. However, upon retiring, we transition to a fixed income where the standard Creative Cloud subscription pricing becomes highly prohibitive for hobbyist and personal use.

While Adobe offers generous discounts to students and teachers to foster future professional use, it completely overlooks the lifetime loyalty of its older user base.

Offering a senior tier—even if structured similarly to the student/teacher discount—would allow thousands of retired designers, photographers, and hobbyists to remain loyal to the tools they love while respecting our financial realities.

People have been asking for that since subscriptions started over 10 years ago and Adobe has not added such a discount… so I don’t think it will ever happen

What some people have said they’ve done is to sign up for a class at a local college and then use that to buy an education subscription
