[Locked] Too expensive!

Design12345  wrote Firstly, I thought these forums were for Adobe users voice their concerns and to unite on points of contention such as issues with the programs or price in a way that Adobe staff could address a group rather and individual complaints but It appears to me I was wrong and the forums are for "Adobe Community Professionals" such as yourself to belittle peoples concerns. If you're not going to be helpful or at least slightly sympathetic, why respond at all?

These fora are mainly for resolving technical problems with the programs.

I made up the numbers and my findings are that the subscription model is more economical than the old for buy model. And it is a wrong ownership feeling that you have. I “own” a massive amount of software that I can’t use any more because it is not running on current computers.

Adobe all apps costs 720$ on a yearly basis, far away fron the 6000$ that the old equivalent did cost, just to find out that half a year after, Adobe upgraded the line and that you would need to shuffle out about half of your price for the update. More, if you were on an older version. It is simply not true that the for buy solution is more economical.

And if you arn’t doing permanent work with the products, you take a per month license and for the rest of the year, you save the subscription fee.

In addition it is not for other users to decide, what thread I answer and what not.

FYI: 1000$ was the price at the time of Photoshop alone. It was at the time the product I was looking for, but unfortunately that was to expensive for me at the time. And 20 years ago the 1000$ were even more expensive in relation with the costs for living.
