Adobe Creative Suite - RIP?
Parkour Lewis:
I don't like how companies keep trying to move to this "you're not buying our software, you're just renting it" model. I don't think it's good for the consumer or the industry as a whole, and in the end, when it all settles, I think everyone will just switch to a different company's software that doesn't try to keep such a stranglehold on how you use their product.
Blyss:
It doesn't prevent against piracy. I'm sorry. It doesn't.
I can make this prediction with no worry of being wrong. Within a few weeks of whatever they release, there will be a way to use it without paying for it.
So, if you take that into account, and this 'security measure' is useless, then what exactly is the goal?
I am a graphic designer. I use Adobe products all the time in my business, and this is, quite frankly, bullshit.
:meh:

If they were running it on the cloud, then it could actually prevent piracy, but it's just a subscription model to a local binary.
I predict that more of the hobbyist users will start pirating it as well as switching to the GIMP, and small business users may move to the GIMP (but that won't mean anything for development effort). Also, piracy will be how archival is pulled off.
This is simply a "fuck you" to hobbyists, really, though. Which is a really, really dumb strategy.
Parkour Lewis:
I've always hated Gimp's interface, but I may have to try it out again now instead of pirating Photoshop like I've been doing to make my badly - photoshopped jokes.
Yeah I said I pirated it.
Yarr.

Who didn't?
