Autodesk subscription model
We debate subscriptions often here. This is an interesting article as it pertains to subscription at Autodesk. The last part about pirates is enlightening.

!2 million illegal users? I wonder how they will get them to pay. Got a video this week on Facebook which claims that the adobe subscription will go up ton $69. if they don’t renew. The video called “stop adobe from forcing create cloud on creatives” Looks like they want to stop a runoff to resolve. Adobe must have double that amount of illegal user.s

As always, the ONLY thing I want to know is how the company will be treating the IP I personally create with their software under the subscription model.
Can whatever system they devise lock the me away from my own IP should I choose to stop paying?
If so, if I was a customer, I’d nope out.
We’ll see.

I presume this is mainly 3D users on both the CAD CAM and media & entertainment side.

Completely bogus.

You won’t have that option with most of the leading software-only product companies. They’ve all realized that subscription is the best viable way to move forward and continue to fund development in a predictable fashion.

I didn’t say they would never raise prices. However, anything you hear on the net about actual planned increases at this point in time are either complete BS, scare tactics, or were posted by someone who doesn’t understand the current price tiers.

I agree it is good for the company but bad for the customer. Having said that I would not mind the Creative Cloud if it was $14.99 a month. At $49.99 a month we are paying more and getting less. The Phone companies have lowered their prices and offered much better plans from what they were 2 years ago. I hope Adobe does the same. Adobe and Apple used to offer inexpensive alternatives to Avid’s MC. As of now Apple and BMD do a better job of that price wise than Adobe.

How are you getting less?

We do not have the actual DVDs. On a side not we also have more bugs. The latest upgrade for Premiere Pro was not all that great. Who would have upgraded? We paid a lot but got less than the CS 4.0 to CS 5.5 upgrade. We all paid for the upgrade regardless if it was worth it or not. That would not be the case with the CS system. Adobe did not take my request serious but BMD did! We got less than the BMD customers. Adobe could and should be doing a lot more as demonstrated by BMD.
Would you now agree we get less and pay more?
The old CS system was much better and Adobe knows it. I say bring back the CS paradigm and let me know how many people opt for the CC at $49.99 a month VS the CS version. At $14.95 a month more people would probably opt for the CC paradigm instead of the CS paradigm. See my point?

Apple and BMD have hardware sales to provide additional financial development support. Adobe and Autodesk do not have that.
