LOL! Adobe: "You complainers will love us once you try us"

Have a read at this arrogant imbecile.

TRY you? TRY YOU!?!? Why in the hell would I TRY CC?

It's $50 A MONTH.

What was my budget before this price model? Oh, about $20-$25 a month. This is a 100% PRICE INCREASE.

Oh but you're getting tons of programs you don't want too! What a deal!

What a souless shill and husk of a human being. He sounds like an incessant nattering "yes man" for Adobe.

Check out Wired's article "Unhappy Customers want to Parachute from Adobe's Creative Cloud"

Good to see a company out there telling it like it is.

The ONLY people benefiting from CC seem to be those who can afford the Master Collection or those who only want 1 app. If you want anything in between then, Adobe has a wooden spoon it wants you to meet.

I saw that also .

Who does Adobe send to say customers will love the software? Not the CEO, CIO, not a Technical Director, etc… but instead what Adobe always relies on more than anything else - Marketing.

Just another example of empty dribble wrapped in smoke and mirrors PR nonsense. How can this guy sleep at night believing the snake oil he is pedaling? Shame on Adobe and all it's representatives.

This doesn't make sense. You can get a single app subscription for the same $20 a month you say you currently budget for. You don't have to pay $50 a month for the full collection of apps. If you own CS6, then you can try out Photoshop CC for a whole year at only $10/month. If at the end of the year you don't like it, you still have CS6 and can carry on as you are now.

First, I have CS5 (I upgrade every 2 versions)

I spend $900 per upgrade, which over the average release cycle is $20-25. That upgrade is to a SUITE of tools (7-8) If I were to pay for 7-8 per app subscriptions I'd be paying them $150/month. On top of jacking their prices 100% or more, they removed their upgrade policy to now require you to be only 1 version behind.

Adobe's only deal that provides me with the software I was interested in (and gives TONS more I don't even care to have) is their 100% more expensive $50/month subscription.

And you don't even own the software with that. They can jack the subscription cost down the line, and if you cancel your subscription, you have tons of CC version files that cannot be opened in previous versions of software.
