I hate spending money on software. I pirated Adobe Creative Suite for years. I really, really did not want to pay the $55/month for a Creative Cloud subscription, but I had to. There are no great alternatives to Photoshop + Premiere + After Effects. I have Affinity Photo, I have Da Vinci Resolve, and Fusion. But at the end of the day Adobe makes the best video production/animation software. I reluctantly bought a subscription and it's been worth it for me. I still hate Adobe's business practices but their software is still extremely well made.
- Gigachad 3y agoI so often see people complaining about the price of Adobe tools saying it's over the top or greedy, but then they continue to pay and use it despite cheaper alternatives existing. Consider that the reason their software is so much better than the rest is _because_ they charge this much and can reinvest it in to the software.

- RockRobotRock 3y agoI think most people here would be happy to pay for a 5 year old version of Photoshop if they could pay a flat price for it.
- Gigachad 3y agoThat would cut revenue from the product and slow development. Letting some other product take over as the best tool.
