And this is why I avoid Adobe products like the plague and why I paid the small once off payment for Affinity Photo for my photo editing needs instead. Fuck Adobe. But really, this is why I avoid subscription software as much as possible. I will pay for streaming media (because I'm paying for the media not the software). If I buy software, I expect a once off payment to be able to use it forever (I'm ok with having to pay for a new version sometime down the line as long as my old version continues to run). I do sometimes use SaaS web products, but I do try to avoid it when I can. Since most things are subscription these days, I don't buy much software and tend to stick to open source stuff where I can.
