I found replacements of Photoshop and Illustrator for $50 each, both are much better (Affinity Photo, and Designer). As for any other software that changes to a subscription based pricing, I just move along to something else. I think these companies have forgotten that we the consumers decide what we want or need, and can just buy from somewhere else. Standards are set and broken everyday, and we the consumer need to make them change to our needs.
