Photoshop Standard Poll: Upgrade Costs for New Premium
If you have photoshop, please read. I need help. I am going to do my best to follow all the guidelines while still clarifying that this is rage inducing. I have been spending 30 dollars a month for years for photoshop, and when i try to add all that money up it makes me more upset, and so I try not to think about it. I was telling myself it was worth it; I can write it off now, finally, the newer features are cool, why not... although I don't like the idea that people can't afford to have graphic design as a hobby anymore...
BUT NOW they have rolled out a new "premium" tier for 45 dollars a month. Which means the 30 dollar tier doesn't get any of the good new features anymore for paying the original rate. The original rate is already over priced, seeing as how after spending thounsands of dollars you'd think you had a program you owned by now, or at least a right to use the full extent of what the program offers.
I cannot seem to find anyone to discuss this with me or explain to me why they think it is reasonable. There are nothing but Chat bots online now and it is such terrible business practice I don't understand why every single website and company is following suit.. I need real humans and their opinions.
So I would like to do a poll on this matter.
What are your thoughts/ potential actions after this "upgraded tier" was announced?
A) Upset, but I'm upgrading because I have the money/my work pays it
B) Neutral, I'm upgrading because I have the money/my work pays it
C) Upset, and I'm NOT upgrading because I can't afford it/ it's rediculous
D) Neutral, NOT upgrading because I don't care/ don't need to/ doesn't matter to me
E) Upset, and I'm (likely) getting rid of my subscription completely
F) Happy, because I have the money/ my work pays for it/ I love the new features and I don't care that it is financially unreasonable
G) Other (explain)
