You don't buy Adobe software. You subscribe to the Adobe SaaS. This is the consequence of replacing products with subscriptions. If people don't like that then they should do something about it. Too late to vote with your wallet, the industry as a whole has moved to this.
Adam Smith, the guy who came up with capitalism, wrote about the evils of rent seeking. You need a regulatory approach.
- xnyan 4y agoI am not opposed to using regulation, but I can’t see what could be done with regulation that would lead to, say, non-subscription adobe products. Mandate that offline versions be available for purchase? There would also have to be some kind of price control mechanism or adobe would make it unaffordable. That seems very specific and messy, but I’m sure there are other ideas.
