(Quick math solution: $29.99 X 12 = $359.88 PER YEAR, EVERY YEAR! And this is not capped, so the upward monthly price is unlimited!)Īlthough I love the products, I don't want to pay another gouging cable or satellite company!Īnd Adobe, could you please, please continue to offer our "old-style" purchasing of new versions of Photoshop? And where does it stop? Do you think it stops at $29.99? I just read about a student who signed up last year for the "introductory" CC pricing for students, and now his price is going up to $29.99 per month, after just one year. "If you put a frog into a pot of cold water and slowly bring it to a boil, he will just sit there and boil - because the discomfort change is so slow, he'll hardly notice it, until he is thoroughly cooked!"Īnd once we have all signed up and are comfortable in our plan, Adobe wants us to forget that we are (almost invisibly to us) paying each month - while the price goes up and up each year. Like Woody Allen said (my paraphrasing, sorry): ![]() This is just like the cable and satellite TV companies, they surreptitiously raise the monthly price, until you are paying INSANE amounts. (Updates for bug fixes should not be delayed, however.) I am pleased to wait for a year for new features. I do not want or need the Cloud, Storage, or Collaborative "features" that are the hallmark of the CC releases. ![]() The $9.99 / month special offer becomes $19.99 or $29.99 after a year (or much more - it is completely at Adobe's discretion how high it goes). (That is clearly stated in their "Terms.") Adobe's "special discount introductory offer" goes to the "current price" after the first year. Although Adobe is offering great "discounts" on the Creative Cloud versions, they will absolutely raise the price each year. I cannot go along with the Creative Cloud only option. Please, could we just continue to purchase our programs, Adobe?
