I am furious regarding the new Adobe policy to remove older versions of software from Creative Cloud.
As to impact, I am still trying to get back to work six hours later. I have overcome one issue (an Action that would not work) but am now waiting Esko Tech Support to resolve the failure of my Esko plug-ins to load. After that who knows what hidden incompatibilities will endanger my work and productivity?
This is an unconscionable decision by a company that obviously need governmental regulation to stop it from abusing its monopoly position.
Many shops use older versions that are part of stable environments that include third-party plug-ins and multiple users. Using the latest and greatest is not nearly as important as a stable environment that works everyday.
Furthermore, in attempting to contact senior members of Adobe their Tech Support seems to be entirely based in India. This is simply not good enough.
