LOL = "I laugh in your face"
Incredibly rude. Hell with that.
Way to find offense in a generic statement. Well done.

I am still on CS6 too! (I never needed much of the features after CS3)
Adobe recently acquired allegorithmic 3D.
(Substance Designer, Substance Painter)
That... shocked, disgusted and annoyed a lot of people.
I paid about 130€ to own both.
Then they changed to a yearly feature upgrade fee of ~80€ per program.
Which was fine-ish, they have to earn money, I get that.
I was still pissed because they heavily suggested it as a lifetime thing.
Now Adobe bough them.
I fear for one of my favorite software bundles.
Will it still exist in a year?
It became practically industry standard for gamedesign.
I can already smell the substance suite as a 35€ Monthly subscription looming in my future. And it will not be pay-to-own. Unfortunately other then Photoshop and Audition, 3D Software has to be pretty much up to date to do anything. 420€ is more then the 160€ I would be paying without a subscription model.
I love my ZBrush lifetime update license so much!
Its not Adobe threatening that - its them saying that it uses parts of software from other companies and they no longer have the licenses for that anymore. Thus people using the older software may be liable to be sued by the other companies. Its just Adobe telling people their liabilities, not threatening to sue them.
But no, everone reads it as "horrible Adobe threatening to sue people for using older versions of their software".
Another **very** disturbing example of that occurred when Adobe announced axing Muse last year.That... shocked, disgusted and annoyed a lot of people.
The main reason is that I've been through some tough times when I couldn't have afforded to pay the subscription fee. Not being able to use software tools I rely on would be *bad toilet* (to quote the late Koko the gorilla).
If you're a commercial facility then it's totally different - you want all the updates "deployed." Or if you need to use something once it makes sense.
But this is not good at all:

just what i need a other monthly payment
That a lot of companies have resorted to a monthly payment plan means to me that most of their income doesn't come from pro level users but the part time hobbyist with a stable day job
I think some companies are killin' it in that market. I was told by an insider of a particular company that this particular company is fully focused on that as their main revenue stream now. Sad....assuming anyone is making a lot of money from subscriptions, which I'm skeptical about.
But sure, full-time professional musicians are a very small market.

I've avoided them like the plague. I literally have so many workarounds for not using PT it's hilarious.
