Adobe warns it may face massive fines for subscription rules::Otherwise in rude health after posting best-ever results

    They bought Allegorithmic, put their Substance products behind a subscription, and discontinued Substance Painter’s Linux release because it was inconvenient to their subscription model. Adobe can vanish off the face of the fucking earth for all I care.

      Can we drop the Adobe executives into the ocean and make them pay for a subscription to a dinghy?

        You’re thinking too small!

        • We sell them a cheaply made dinghy for a one-time payment with a 400% markup (it’s okay, it has AI features)
        • The lifetime license expires in a few days
        • For continued support, we coerce them into a multi-tier subscription
        • Tier 1 gets them access to some tape to fix the inevitable holes
        • Tier 2 gets them a hand-operated pump
        • Tier 3 gets them one (1) oar and a very nice hand-written letter to thank them for their trust and support

        Then I roll up to them in my libre motorboat and chuck them in the ocean because fuck them.
