Is there no way to offer Photoshop to the disabled?
I'm not going to rant and swear like I imagine most people do, that solves nothing. I just have a simple question. Is there no way for Adobe to offer Photoshop CS6 at reasonable prices to the disabled? I tried asking a customer service person in chat but they essentially told me its not their problem. And they noted how wonderful photoshop was as if to rub it in my face.
I realize their are amazing artists that use this, who also must have decent amounts of money. But I never went to college nor am I some super master at Photoshop (I use it at my friends). However I am disabled and unable to work. I barley have enough money to survive on. So naturally a program like Photoshop would work great for me so I could work from home mostly editing pictures, correcting pictures and even doing some art. This is the same thing I said the customer services too.
As stated I know Adobe wants to make money. But don't you think you would make more if you offered photoshop at a reasonable price for people that arne't exactly well off? Its been shown time and time again that even if you lower a price on something, you end up making more because of the quantity of people who buy it. If CS6 was about $200 I would buy it, no matter how long it took me to saved.
As it is, I am sad that Adobe seems to treat me like a leper for simply wanting a fair shot at being able to use the program. If Adobe would like to help the economy then lower the price so more people could have jobs in the field of media, photography, arts....etc. I am a pretty moral person, I don't steal, I don't like to be mean. But most of my friends use Photoshop illegally. I don't think they should be stealing it. And yet I will not be like them and the only one seeming to lose out is not Adobe or my friends... but me. The honest guy. >.<
I am not sure what kind of response I will get, I imagine it will either be a deletion of this question or a gang up of attackers against me. If that is the case then I am ok with that, I'm not here to fight. Just looking for some sort of light in what feels like an endless dark tunnel when it comes to trying to get Photoshop.
