thinking about photoshop CS2 for instance, they offered the download and some keys that would work on it
But then it quit working on 64bit.
they don't have to keep supporting, just not make it unavailable the best case would be if they made it open source, in that case other people could keep maintaining it, but would be against their profit incentives
If adobe made their best selling product open source?
Then the world would be a better place and it would likely use less RAM
Image processing uses huge amounts of RAM. Regardless of who makes the software.
GIMP is best RAM!!! 🤪
think about all the resources currently spent on stopping people from using software
Reworded: Think of all the resources spent on making sure people don’t steal the software you paid to make.
I’m all for open source software. But if a company spends money paying employees, they need to not go out of business.
Now, do I think they overcharge? Yes. Do I think their subscription model is offensive? Yes. Are there other alternatives: Affinity Photo, you pay once for the version. Yours forever.
