If I don’t need what’s marketed in the “latest” version, I don’t want to throw money at it just to satisfy the greed of developers. Paying on MY time scale matters far more to me than being “up-to-date”. Even better: it only cost me money one time per version.
COREL PAINTER 2020 SOFTWARE
much of the software I use is “out of date” and works fine.
There is no savings to customers, but there is more money handed to companies, for less value returned.Īs for the FOMO of “out of date” software.
The software subscription model is entirely designed to squeeze more money out of saturated markets by forcing those who cannot go without to perpetually pay (and pay more) for their software. Companies like Adobe are all too happy to abuse consumers with these market-gentrifying behaviors. I will never subscribe to software, even if I somehow get out of poverty. I personally still manage to save money for a few months at a time to buy useful tools that cost hundreds (Painter is a fantastic tool), and I’m in poverty. By then, Corel Painter is the same 3.5 year old software and 3.5 years is an eternity.Īdobe is losing market share in the hobbyist and small business arena because people don’t want to (or cannot afford to) add to their monthly bills. It will take 3.5 years to pay the equivalent of $429 and three years later, one is on the most current release of Photoshop. Many folks won't shell out $429 at once for a piece of software, but they can definitely swallow $10/month for Lightroom/Photoshop. Which is why Adobe is killing it in the graphics suite.
