My issue with Adobe's pricing.

Adobe prices are set by corporate decision makers, not product users like us.

Professional design tools cost money to develop & maintain. Compared to Autocad & Maya which cost more than $1,000 per year for EACH one, Creative Cloud is a bargain.

If you really can't earn enough to afford $600/yr for 51 apps & services,  maybe you should be using cheaper alternatives in the consumer & freeware category.  But you get what you pay for.

Hi there,

We appreciate the feedback. However, it is important to understand that monthly/annually subscription feature has been implemented so that the users can avail all the new features/updates that are released at regular intervals for respective products. Also, it is necessary to keep up with the evolving OS and updates.

I hope it answers your question.

Not sure how this would help Adobe be more profitable?

>make it much less pricey
