I suspect a lot of early internet amateur animators got started on pirated/shared versions of Flash. Probably helped the proliferation of that scene a whole lot

  $20.99 for all of creative suite is also a much lower entry point price.

    12-14 year olds aren't going to be dropping 250 bucks a year. If you look at something like newgrounds, a lot of that was bored teenagers.

    Things may have changed for today’s teens, but having been a teen through the 00’s that would’ve been too expensive for me. It was hard to even justify a WoW subscription at $15/month even with the near endless entertainment value that provided. Also, with the CC subscription setup, if you stop paying you lose access to your creations. That’s not too big of a deal for working adults, but for a teen with tumultuous cash flow, it’s a huge dealbreaker. I spent hundreds of hours in Photoshop as a teen, but I likely would’ve have bothered with it at all if it weren’t easily piratable.

    Depends on where you live in this World. For young people here (south america) that could be a lot. That's a problem generally with cloud services. Pricing is mostly done considering some countries and contexts, but totally ignoring other. With physical equivalents some years ago, local distributors made deals with their home offices to adjust for this, but that's not something usually done anymore.
