In that situation I'd be mad at both. But primarily Apple.
Apple broke my working software. Emphasis on the working part. Upgrading even with one time payment software would still mean hundreds of dollars forked out because Apple broke it. If it wasn't broken I wouldn't upgrade.
- pembrook 7y agoAm I the only one who sees the absurdity of this? If you’re cool using 6+ year old, blurry non-retina software...why do you need to upgrade to Catalina? Just stay on Mojave and you’ll be fine. Did you really plan on using that 2012 edition of Photoshop until 2035?
- Tronno 7y agoThere's nothing absurd about it. CS6 has retina support, and I use it too. It has all the features I need - nothing added in the last 6 years has been worth switching to the subscription model.
- jxdxbx 7y agoWhat in Catalina is worth upgrading to? I don’t see much.
- blub 7y agoThe 15+ security issues come to mind...
- inapis 7y agoApple supports the previous version of OSX with security updates for some time.
- blub 7y agoIf the Catalina fixes have already been back-ported to Mojave, please link to the Apple security announcement. Where are the Mojave fixes for CVE-2019-8745 and CVE-2019-8769 for example? If they're not available, my point stands.
- jedieaston 7y agoThe SwiftUI development tools (live preview) are only available in Catalina, and iTunes has had a minor rewrite I believe. Otherwise, I think it’s the same.
- damnyou 7y agoHow would I stay on Mojave when my laptop breaks? Do you expect people to keep buying old hardware forever?
- dodobirdlord 7y agoWhy not? What's the alternative, that Apple has to support all of your old software forever in the free software updates that they provide?
- damnyou 7y agoYep, Apple should spend some of that massive pile of cash they have. It's the least they can do.
- icedchai 7y agoRun your old apps in a VM.
- noisem4ker 7y agoThat can result in anything between "works with some inconvenience" and "does not work at all".
- kibibu 7y agoIf it continues to work, why not? I have Windows audio apps from the 90s and they still run fine.
- claudeganon 7y agoI know many, many working artists and illustrators that plan to do exactly that. Artists generally revile Adobe for their move to subscription pricing.
- Smithalicious 7y agoThis idea that "6+" years old is particularly old really irks me, because it's not. Most other things in my life that I rely on last longer than that. I also occasionally need to run software that's older than that. 6 years isn't nearly long enough to even consider dropping support on the OS level. Try twice that.
- filesystem 7y agoApple is not looking at 6 year old applications and saying “It’s been long enough, time to drop support for this app”. They are looking at the 30+ year old architecture that is 32-bit x86.
- AndriyKunitsyn 7y agoWho cares? At the end of the day, what matters is people’s stuff that they paid for is broken.
- sbuk 7y agoThat’s a rather simplistic view of things. The long and the short of it is this; it’s not Apple’s responsibility to to ensure Adobe’s software runs on their platform, it’s Adobe’s and Adobe no longer support CS6.
- noisem4ker 7y agoWhat is a computer if not a place for software to run on? Is it not part of the producer's responsibility to make sure software runs fine on their platform? The bond goes both ways.
- sbuk 7y agoSimply put, no! Certainly not if the developer of the non-functioning software no-longer supports it.

- odessacubbage 7y agoadobe has essentially added nothing in cc that makes it worthwhile to switch over from cs6, and certainly not for rental software. if anything performance has gotten considerably worse with the addition of creative cloud bloatware
- watertom 7y agoApple did not break your working software. It still runs on older versions of the OS. Let's face it you are cheap, you weren't willing to keep up with the Adobe products you purchased and now you want to blame someone, instead of blaming yourself, you've decided it's someone else's fault. I have pre-CC version of the Adobe products, and I run the an older version of OSX on my Mac Pro. I'm not willing to pay the price for Adobe, but I'm also willing to take responsibility for my cheapness.
- fiblye 7y ago> Let's face it you are cheap, Or, hear me out here, some people can’t afford to buy new Adobe software because it’s ridiculously expensive. They’re not wealthy enough to call themselves cheap.
- na85 7y agoAgain, being angry at an OS vendor because Adobe overprices their software doesn't make sense.
- damnyou 7y agoOr you can treat both as part of the same engine of unrestrained, destructive capitalism that destroys people's livelihoods when they no longer align with business interests. Apple can spend some of that massive cash reserve it has actually acting like a grown-up platform holder with responsibilities to its users.
- dannyw 7y agoWhen an OS vendor breaks something that works perfect for me before, I think I have a right to be at least 70% angry at them. I can still run programs from the XP era on my Windows PC.
- askafriend 7y agoYou can just stay on Mojave. You don't have to update.
