It is not a good idea for a company to upset the online community.
On Monday, a new version of their illustration and animation program was announced, along with a new subscription model. The current version 1 is a one-time purchase with a base license offered at $49.99 or $219 for the professional version.
Current users can still hold on to their version 1 license, but the company said that they will no longer provide feature updates for version 1 users. Any errors caused by the OS will be covered by free stability updates from next year and beyond. The company said that making this move was necessary in order to maintain the development of the app.
The change was decry by users on the social networking site. The meme was well-produced and on-point. Negative comments hit upon the point that they went withCSP to avoid paying a monthly subscription for the likes ofPhotoshop, all while dealing with Adobe's heavy-handed DRM.
The confusing structure for users wanting to upgrade from version 1 to version 2 isn't helping. Existing users of version 1 can purchase a license for version 2, but they won't have access to the latest updates. When version 4 is released, developers will stop supporting the perpetual license users. A one-year update pass will be required for those who want to keep receiving new features.
By the end of Monday, we had not heard back from ArtSpark, the company that owns the subsidiary. The company wrote that they would make the switch to version 2 in the first half of the 20th century.
The links to pirate the software were shared by some users. Other services have to stand out from the crowd in order to get users to use them. While being somewhat less user friendly, photo and art programs like GIMP and Krita are free and open source, while programs like Painttool SAI and Procreate are only available on the App Store.
It's much more expensive over time, especially for people who've been dabbling in the game for a long time. Adobe is also planning to release a stripped-down, free, web-based version of itsPhotoshop program. The first tests are being done with Canadians.
