Reply To: Should we start an Adobe Customers pressure group?

Matt, I respect you and your great work, but this comment made me both laugh and shake my head: “charging us all $600/year and not giving us anything in return”

What on earth are you talking about? You get to use over a dozen pieces of incredible software all you want, plus many services which make work more pleasant and easy, and have the option to use hundreds of fonts and other cool things for $50 per month, which is literally less money than a Starbucks coffee each work day.

Yes, I know that people who don’t make money with these apps find this difficult. But you, Matt, you make your living with these tools. I used to spend more than $50/month on just printing laser prints!

Are you saying that it truly is not worth $2.50 per day to you to have access to tools that can make you hundreds, or thousands of dollars?

And as for an “adobe pressure group”… um… they have millions of CC members now. Even if several thousand people stopped their memberships, would Adobe even notice? And more importantly those thousands of users would suddenly not be able to get their jobs done. Or, they’d find they can get their work done with other tools, and that would be great information, too.

I’m not trying to be a downer. As you know, I am constantly trying to get Adobe to do better. But this is not the right way to do it.
