You can hate this as much as you want but the Adobe subscription strategy really works like Butter on Bread. Adobe announced a record revenue in Q2:
Adobe achieved record quarterly revenue of $2.20 billion in its second quarter of fiscal year 2018, which represents 24 percent year-over-year revenue growth.
Yeah it sucks that they make $$$ on our back :)
Adobe also launched the new Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic CC updates with a long list of improvements and new features.
