I don’t want to give the impression that I don’t hate Adobe—because I do. In this case, I think Pantone is at least as responsible, if not entirely.
The monthly subscription price for an Adobe program is $20. The whole suite is $55. The monthly Pantone price is $22. That’s more than double the cost of a single program or nearly half of the entire suite.
If Adobe tried to double prices to cover that cost, they would hemorrhage users in a dramatic way.
Even when you pay, the damn thing is bugged to fuck.
