Adobe used to sell the complete suite for $299 for life. Now they charge twice as much for 1 year. Massively overpriced.

Of course it's for new users only, because companies no longer have any interest in rewarding loyalty.

Just to lock-in new customers to a plan that has high early termination fees.
I feel like Adobe destroyed their loyal customer base

Maybe Adobe should take 40% off their sneaky payment terms and conditions.
Then I would go for a Photography plan.

I am sure plenty of "professional" people whose income from their work vastly outweighs the annual subscription price they pay.

For "casual" users? I expect that market is significantly smaller than when it was a one-time purchase.

I'm a casual user and I tried it for two years under one of these deals (when my initial year expired, they extended it for another year and probably would have continued to do so, but I just did not use it enough to justify the price and went with Affinity).
