    Adobe CC has 7,000,000 paying customers (march 2016 numbers)

    925$ X 7,000,000 = 6 475 000 000$/year

    To sell virtual products (softwares), not for building physical objects. Thats a looooots of profits.

    • are you saying this is bad? so many 'o's' in the word 'lots' has me thinking you don't like the idea of these profits? (or are you just making a statement?)PonyBoy
    • they should start making the subscriptions cheaper by now...according to 'new economy' principles. let's hope their managers are new school.uan
    • I fear they won't. Seeing how they are recoding their products and how much glitches they introduce with the new code, reminiscent to the AS2 to AS3 fiasco.uan
    • AS3 fiasco? AS3 was far better than AS2 - just harder to learn if you didn't know javascript.fadein11
    • what's the issue with non-physical products - software takes longer to make?fadein11
    • How many of those customers are solely on the Photoshop/Lightroom package?face_melter
    • I think they're software subscription is a great deal. It's like a dollar something a day for something that I use non-stop and makes moneys from.fyoucher1
    • moneys...fyoucher1

    • Whereas I feel it's a complete rip off—I use 'the same Illustrator' I did 10 years ago, but need to maintain an update cycle because of file incompatabilities.detritus
    • Also, I don't think you guys in the States appreciatethe markup we have to suffer across teh rest ofthe world. Shit really ain't a deal.detritus
    • Which reminds me, I've still not received an invite to the Affinity Windows Beta trial :(detritus
    • Also, CC is buggy and doesn't house clean properly - I have to empty my SSD boot drive of random temp files every n months because it gets filled with shit.detritus
    • CC locks you into a subsc. model, whereas beforehand you could skip an iteration or two without much productivity loss = extra £200 per cycle for professionalsdetritus
    • ...per PRODUCT (using Illustrator or Photoshop as an example). For me, that's an extra £400 over three years. For what?detritus
