Creative Cloud – Some Peace of Mind Offered…

[Aindreas Gallagher]

actually – its a little more – I’ve thought about that. I get a discount on single app coming from CS3 and above that dips below the discount I get on the suite coming from CS6.

My real point is that I am not willing to start executing AE in CC. PS has granite backwards compatibility. And I’ll rent PPro – but there is just no way I’m going to get acclimatised to perpetual rent for adobe software. Seriously Chris -look at this guy:

I mean – ok , creative cloud whatever, but adobe were in the process, under his leadership, of gouging the eyes out of australian customers. to an incredible degree.

are you willing to transition to a rental scheme where this guy is calling the rent? I’m not calling doomsday – but – on a near animal level – I don’t trust where adobe are inclined to take this once everyone is paying them rent. I just do not trust the landlord.

As much as anything, I fundamentally don’t trust Shantanyu Nararyan.

I just wanted to make sure you knew that if you own 6, you can now get CC for 19.99 instead of 29.99. I went and swapped mine out earlier today. And, since you are planning on paying 19.99 for Pr, I wanted to make sure you knew about the deal. That’s all.

I actually get PPRo for eight quid a month.

one has done the sums here.

Wow. That’s like 12.50 a month. NOT a bad deal.

It’s really not a cash issue chris – it’s how much of my toolset I’m willing to lose basic control over. PPro is it.

I am not walking an inch into the rest of the adobe rental show. not with CS6 in hand?
– ask me again in two years when we see whether adobe actually did hit an update brick wall. CS6 is killer and i own it.

But most of the stuff in it is ver. 12 -15 and ten to thirty years old for gods sake. Adobe might be getting tired of this?
Left on the open market a lot of this might be supposed to die? I mean that in the best way possible. part of me thinks they never recovered from how stupid everything got about flash.

you might think adobe corporate threw everything they had at CS6-7 to get at a working rental landlord steady state.
I almost think adobe really are at a point where they just want to pick up a rent payment –

– and fire a lot of people internally, and kill a lot of R&D.

Then people would just walk out in droves. It’s not like $50/mo is a giant boat anchor hanging around someone’s neck. Being six figures in debt to Avid while watching FCP Legend and ‘fast enough’ consumer desktops drop the bottom out of the market… now that’s a money hole you can’t just walk away from.
