Now that the semester is over I cancelled my subscription for Creative Cloud, but even though I know I won't use it after school, I kind of wish I could keep it just to mess around now and then. Too bad I don't make enough to add another $21.44 to my payment list every month. I'll subscribe again when the need comes, but I'm sure when it does I'm going to going "What the heck do I do with this again?"
I don't understand the idea of paying a subscription to use goddamn Photoshop. Like, yo, I bought the program and installed it on my computer. It's mine now. I don't need to pay to use the thing that I bought.
Because compared to paying 400+ dollars for something I can pay only 20 dollars for a month and get what I need done when it needs to be done and be finished with it. And not everyone might have the money to spend on a full version
Thats fine and all, but I don't get why they don't provide a one time purchase for people that do want to buy a full version. The most you can do is pay for a year, which is really stupid and annoying.
Well, how else is the company going to get money? True you have things that are 400-600+ dollars, but when you have people paying 50 per month, you've already got 600 dollars a year right there. Plus you can get all of the applications with that little payment compared to paying probably close to $2000 just for 5 programs in total. I don't have a great excuse for why they do it, it just works that way
You can buy the CS6 Master collection for $1,298.28 right now, and that's a one time payment, you have the software forever. 3 Years of CC is $1,486.59. I know which one I'd buy if I was looking for Adobe Software. CC's pricing would be a lot more reasonable if it was a lifetime payment.
From what I heard it gets more updates, and something like CC isn't for someone who just casually uses it. If you are making money off of it, then it is worth it. That seems to be the target audience, and from what I've heard, they don't mind it that much.
Just to find something to complain about, that CS6 Master collection needs Lightroom if it's going to have Bridge as well XD
