Adobe Launches iPad Creative App Bundle for $14.99 per Month

Just some references: Affinity Designer & Photo now 10 USD (one-time) each after a 50% discount

Nobody cares. The apps are more popular than ever, cheaper than ever and nearly every company is doing it. Autodesk, The Foundry, Pixologic, etc

You can use the cheap substitute apps if you want but they won’t be industry leading and you will not be either.

I care!
I hate subscription models too!

Affinity over Adobe any day.

I hate subscription models. Makes me not ever want to use their software again and look elsewhere.
Some things (most things)should be one time payments with a possible smaller upgrade fee for new software every year or two.

Not including Lightroom Mobile is a dealbreaker. It's their best iPad app.

Even $20 each for a one time purchase is a better deal than the Adobe garbage!

I think it’s BS that you have to pay monthly for Adobe software.

I wish they would bring back the full purchase again, I don’t care how much I have to pay. Or lower the price monthly.
Or maybe introduce a new way to pay, such a one time daily, one timemonthly license or one time yearly license.
It’s annoying have to subscribe and have to keep tabs on crap that you’re not using, so you have to cancel the subscription until you’re ready to use it again.
The purpose of a subscription is a reoccurring payment for reoccurring service.

for some people, photoshop is a personal tool they like to use, not a daily thing they use for work. Professionals who rely on it for work, it makes sense to pay that.
But if I need to use it for a day or 2 out of the whole month, it’s not fair to pay the same amount as someone who will use it non stop.
they need to restructure their business model to segregate professionals from non professional users so the pricing reflects what you are using it for.

At the end of the day, it was so simple to just buy the freaking license so own the software and you can use it at your own leisure without worrying about “oh man, am I still paying for this? Should I cancel it because I haven’t used it all this month? Damn, I just paid 30 dollars for a month of software that I didn’t even use”

it’s just dumb. This wouldn’t be an issue if they weren’t greedy bastards jumping on the subscription bandwagon.
