I signed up for creative cloud and accidentally signed for a year. They want 60$ to cancel the subscription. Suck my taint.

After their fallout with Pantone, I was done.

I immediately switched to Affinity and haven’t looked back. Yes, there is a learning curve and you will have to spend a few hours Googling how to do the same thing but it’s easily been able to do the same thing that I was doing before.

The ONLY two features I miss from InDesign is GREP and scripts. Other than that, FUCK ADOBE.

As someone that had to deal with adobe for 5 years for an 800 person studio. Fuck Adobe. For the rest of forever.

Hey chatGPT, what would Blackbeard have to say about Adobe licensing?

Adobe, be drivin’ me to madness with their confusin’ schemes. Ye need a map just to make sense of it all! They be chargin’ a king’s ransom for their software, and what do ye get in return? Aye, a license that’s as flimsy as a ship’s riggin’ in a storm.

It’s a never-endin’ voyage through their terms and conditions, and I can’t fathom their logic. It be like navigatin’ the high seas with a broken compass. They be restrictin’ the use of their software, demandin’ we pay a ransom every month, and heaven forbid ye want to use it on multiple devices! They’ll make ye walk the plank for that.

And don’t get me started on their audits, me heartie. They be sendin’ their parrots to check if ye be usin’ their software properly, threatenin’ to keelhaul ye if they find a single violation. It be daylight robbery, I tell ye!

Hey adobe, how about you stop contacting everyone in our organization using a single non-profit license of a single product and telling them we should all be on a single cloud account so we can pay several times more for the same thing just to get access to sharing services no one wants?

Have you had a look at the Affinity suite? It certainly can’t replace everything, but for many users like me it’s not really missing anything for a one time payment.
