Adobe stole my creative suite
(feddit.it)
One day many years ago I had too many drinks and being stupid and naive and I bought adobe cs5. I still use it on the same computer I installed it a decade ago. Activated and installed only once. Today they revoked the access to it. Clicking the link they say "revoked because purchased from an untrustworthy reseller"
Yeah... untrustworthy reseller, look at the invoice and see who sold&shipped that physical copy...
Contacted support, they said that they won't do anything about it because it's EOL.
Moral of the story: don't do like me. If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing. Never give your money to Adobe.
I don't support piracy of Adobe, because you're still using their ecosystem and still supporting it by propagating its use. Just stop using their trash, seriously.
What are you talking about? I am using and recommending krita, lol.
he's piggybacking off your top comment to make his own thoughts more visible. it's what we in the business call a "pro strat" 😎
Not META?
Affinity is solid, and regularly goes on sale
It's on sale right now and has a 180-day free trial even if you tried it before.
Yeah well until there's another ecosystem that comes even close to being as good, I'm going to continue pirating Adobe. None of the alternatives I've tried have been deserving of the overwhelming praise I see, they're all lacking tons of features that PS has had for years.
