Manipulate? They're a business who is making big boy business decisions. If you don't like their products don't purchase them. They don't have a monopoly, they simply have good products.
- at-fates-hands 13y ago>>>> They don't have a monopoly. This is pretty debatable considering the options which are currently available to consumers. Yes, they have some competition, but it's hardly putting a dent in their bottom line. It's comparable to the New York Yankees playing in a Juco league. Sure they have "Competition" in the form of other teams, but are those teams really in their league? No.
- nemothekid 13y agoNo its comparable to saying Apple has a monopoly because Android et. al are hardly putting a dent in Apple's bottom line. Is your argument for Adobe monopoly really that "they make really good products and no one comes close to them in quality?" Because if so, then good on Adobe for making good products.
- enneff 13y agoMacromedia were the last decent competitor in the 2D design space, then Adobe bought them. I was sad to see it happen, and I can see Photoshop has only gotten more bloated and nonsensical as time goes on. I hope some bold entrepreneur brings out some software to seriously compete with Creative Suite because the market sorely needs it.
