     @limepeep @nano@yiff.life Yeah for a lot of businesses it makes a lot of sense to buy scalper prices for a copy of CS6, and essentially own it forever, then to pay for cloud stuff yearly again and again.
     
     Even for businesses I personally recommend not buying Photoshop and using free software instead.

     @SuperDicq @nano@yiff.life Shoot, so it will only be more expensive as time passes?
     
     At least there's Krita. It works quite well for drawing, and I don't have to pay for it.

     @nano@yiff.life Because everyone wants them because it's the lastest non-cloud version of Photoshop.

     @SuperDicq @nano @limepeep unfortunately “forever” isn’t guaranteed under the current software licensing paradigm, if adobe has their way.
