That’s not how market works.
The price of Adobe Creative Suite isn’t based on cost, it’s an attempt to reflect the value of the product.
For me, an amateur with very basic image editing needs, it would be silly to pay $250+/year for using Photoshop. So instead, I use Acorn, which is $40. One-time fee.
And if you want a FOSS alternative, there’s always Gimp and/or Krita. No payment required at all.
It’s not as if people are forced to buy Adobe. I’d say the market works just fine here.

- torstenvl 4y agoI think you're confused about the conversation that's being had. Nobody is suggesting (reduction in production costs) → (reduction in median consumer price) We are only suggesting (reduction in production costs as a way to reduce median consumer price) → (reduction in median consumer price) If there was no reduction in median consumer price, then, contrary to GGP's position, it is fair to conclude that it's not part of Adobe's intent.
