It’s like all these companies see other companies fire people to pad shareholder wealth and just fall in line.

The gaming industry needs to unionize.

Maybe a business can justify that, but for a hobby? No way.

Hobbyists CAN and DO get the $10/mo plan. It’s cheaper than most streaming services and if it’s a part of your workflow (as a hobby photographer, for example) then $10/month for a constantly updated software is a good deal.

Like if you don’t value photoshop at $10/month that’s okay but A LOT of people do.

Paying forever is not a better deal

I just ran into the not forever issue when I had to re-buy Affinity photo to get the newest version.

Yep I use and love affinity photo. It works well for my needs.

If you’re using photoshop in a business or hobby capacity, $10/month is a fairly good deal.

I personally use Affinity Photo but I’m not going to pretend that it has feature parity with photoshop.

I mean I hate Adobe as much as the next guy but photoshop is like $10/month

Gamefreak doesn’t know how to make video games and the last good one they made was am eternity ago.

Unfortunately I doubt anything will change because people continue to buy no matter how bad it is

For what it’s worth, I just started playing again and have no problem finding games. Most searches are near instant. I’m not Onyx level or anything so can’t comment about how it is the higher you get.

So what’s the date?
