I 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...
