I can’t agree re: subscriptions. As a kid I always wanted photoshop/flash/etc but they came with 500-1000$ price tags. I’d imagine now that you can buy a subscription to photoshop more poor kids like I was are able to use it.
- dvdkon 6y agoI certainly couldn't afford Photoshop when I was a kid, but I can't imagine that being too different with a 20USD/month subscription. Maybe there are some people who can't afford 500USD software but are fine with paying a hefty monthly fee, but I wouldn't bet on it too much. Since we're discussing kids, I'd think boxed software would be much more "giftable", therefore easier to get as a kid. A game or program for Christmas? Sure! A WoW/Photoshop subscription? I wouldn't gift it. But that might just be me fighting against trends everyone's adopted already...
- benrbray 6y agofwiw I saved up for months to buy a student edition of Flash CS3 for maybe $150 when I was about 12 years old. I later received a copy of CS4 (flash+photoshop+a few more) as a gift from my parents. I'm still using that copy of photoshop 15 years later. I don't need the new features because I'm only an occasional user.
