My monthly cost for the entire CC set of Apps after taxes / fees = $53.14 US which is $637.68 / year.
Not even close to $1K a year allows me the opportunity to sit and work in my underpants and make a helluva-lot-more than I pay Adobe.
The cost is insanely CHEAP given what I'm able to create for my clients. Is it annoying when 'updates' to the software really don't provide something better? sure...
...but ffs STOP WHINING so much!! I and MANY OTHERS on this site make a pretty nice living thanks to Adobe. The 'air' I purchase from them on a monthly basis allows me to crank out Websites, Books, Ads, Animations, Signage, Stickers, Business Cards BLAH BLAH BLAH... the possibilities for either tangible or on-screen useful products from Adobe's 'intangible software' is extensive (and lucrative if you're not a whiny baby who refuses to learn and apply these Apps instead of sitting on a forum complaining that tools cost money).

- charge more per hour than I pay per month, it's not a bad deal in the endmonospaced
- Can I use your Creative Cloud Manager, yours seems to work poifectly! But you're right, $53.14 a month is insignificant. I don't even really track the expense.canoe
- this is actually, the truth. actually.doesnotexist
- I dont make a lot of money out of it, i use it more as a hobby. So for me its a lot of money just to have fun. 78$CAD/monthBennn
- And i dont understand why we cannot choose the programs we want instead of paying for the whole bunch. The only package they offer is PSD+LRBennn
- You can choose individual programs for ~$20 each.monNom
- @Bennn that sounds boring pick them all come ondoesnotexist
- yep - nearly had a similar rant - 100% agree with everything. It's peanuts. Add $50 onto a job each month if it bothers you so much.fadein11
- I'll never understand people who argue on behalf and in favour of a subscription model, especially Adobe, especially in the UK. Stockholm syndrome?detritus
- not arguing - its peanuts - used their software for free for years and years - can now afford it lol. its a dumb argument.fadein11
- It's clever, you have your continuous payment system, and you get constantly hacked and monitored by Adobe, failure to do so means yoou need a new career. Nice.rosko_picachu

- lol @roskomonospaced
- I dont see how to choose the software one by one on Adobe's websiteBennn
- all i need is Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, After Effects and Lightroom. I would like to build my package... seems impossibleBennn
- Its possible to choose only one program for 20$/mBennn
- So you're saying you need 5 of the most powerful pro level apps and services available for the creative market, and $10 each is too much?monospaced
- And it's just your hobby?monospaced
- Yeah. I make around 500-1000$ worth of job from home. I have a full time job in a company. Basically my home jobs pays for Adobe CC and i have nothing left.Bennn
- i'm trying something today. Currently downloading CS5 W4R3Z C0p1, will pay the 10$/m for PSD+LR and install the rest 1IIegaIIy...dont know if the k4ack willBennn
- work having both...Bennn
- lolmonospaced
- exactlyBennn
- Still on CS3 for my personal copy. I use photoshop maybe once a month these days. So, a subscription would be completely wasted on me.section_014
- That's why Sketch is $99 and is going to kick Adobe's arse...robotron3k
- lol robo - sketch does 5% of what Adobe CC does - do you use 1 program? Fuck me, your silly comments are now oozing out of the politics thread into general lifefadein11
- Done. Everything works for now. Changed my plan to PSD+LR 10$/m and h4ck3d the rest.Bennn
- lol so you have up to date 2017 editions of two apps and the others are a previous version and you're gonna make $500 this year on it? Blessmonospaced
- all are CC2017. thanks. Will see if it works. I dont use the other very often and dont make cash out of it really.Bennn
- Make little cash from PSD, the rest is in the hobby departmentBennn
- how would you feel if you could never buy a car, the car always had problems and it was your only choice? I think this is the argument.imbecile
- are you saying you're enslaved to one company, imbecile? there's always corel :)PonyBoy
- which i use to much profitimbecile
