The subscription model for Adobe actually makes photoshop more affordable for students than before, though. (Even if they pay more in the end)

  1. Students didn’t upgrade every version. So the cost was amortized over many years. 2. The above point is moot because I, and every student I knew, used a school copy on a lab computer or… obtained a copy without paying

    Photoshop CS6 is $700 ($1000 Extended), subscription is $10/month including Lightroom. So you'd need a lot of 'amortization' to make the standalone version a better choice. I think your second point is moot personally, forcing students to break the law to obtain Photoshop is not a solution. I don't like subscriptions personally, but most people do not care and it has definitely made Photoshop more affordable for the average person. This is reflected in Adobe' stock price.

  I’m certain this is what Adobe marketing managers tell themselves so they can sleep better at night.
