Adobe CS6 Master Suite costs $2600 back in 2012, Photoshop alone was $700 all written on a $ .69 CD disc. EVEN if you bought just it. But think about this.
Adobe has made the "Adobe Creative Cloud" which you no longer spend $$$ on a disc(s) program sent to you, nor downloadable content. Its all on the cloud and DISCS are no longer available or made to be precise. Because it is a cloud based program. You simply subscribe at $55 a month for the services. My oldest son uses it; has for little over 3 years now. Think about that now.
$ 55 x 12 = $660
$660 x 3 = $1980 so far..
In 5 years he'll have spent $3300 and still not own a disc or tangible copy of anything considered to be "property" but there are free updates and you have to be online to use any of it. Which means likely loss of any privacy whatsoever too.
Perpetual money making opportunity. Albeit millions of copies have been sold. Better business? or better scam?
