Is Adobe overpriced? - Luxury - 09-23-2017
Based on the suggestion by @Jiggly I felt the need to include all of Adobe. From a thread of mine here. We discussed whether Adobe products in their current generation are too expensive. While we both had differing thoughts on it. What's yours?

Adobe products are definitely better on the market, there are no other good alternatives (maybe except sony vegas p.).
And I agree prices are too high, there is student discount but still, prices are high.
You can try this great tool too, its free and cross-platform: https://www.designer.io/

It's not overpriced, I got adobe cc for the low price of $0.
RE: Is Adobe overpriced? - Bish0pQ - 09-23-2017
It has a lot of functions and is being active developed so it's worth the price. There are alternatives though, one is released in a month, I forgot the name of the tool but it was said it would've almost as much functionality as Adobe and it's totally free (there is a paid version though)

Given It's become a subscription-based service and the ridiculous monthly fee of 49.99$ for all Adobe CC apps, It Is excessive.
Businesses are fine, they claim the cost on company tax but for the "average" consumer, It's simply not on.

Yeah I agree with most of these responses. The way I had said earlier is that from a university standpoint the price is reasonable if added to the curriculum fees. Therefore a university doesn't waste money in regards to students using vs students buying the product. If buying it for a class it makes sense if you're only in that class for a year and pay the money as part of class tuition. If you're only there and don't actively use the program it'd be a waste for a university to buy it for many students.

Yes, adobe is overpriced, but they have used the same dll for authentication for many years. It's not difficult to crack it, even the newest version.

Been doing so since Adobe CS, around 13 years ago.
And of course patching the Hosts file.

Extremely overpriced. One of the main reasons why I crack all their products.
Also hi, Atwoon. : )

While I know many forum users do know how, I haven't a clue on how to crack this stuff. And would prefer legitimately getting things. I know they provide cloud services for students etc, but that's really not what I need. I've definitely moved to lesser alternatives in the meantime.
