    Adobe is doing it too. they are forcing all current licensing to be upgraded (at a charge) and releasing the legacy licensing under a new name. you must actively downgrade.

    it’s more collusion from big companies seeing as they are all rolling this same immoral tactic out to steal money essentially.

      Same with Google Workspace. Just got an email last month saying prices are increasing to reflect “new AI features,” all of which I have disabled because (A) I don’t use them, and (B) they’re another privacy nightmare.

      At this point we’re all just subsidizing the shareholders. The vast majority of generative AI being tacked on to subscriptions is useless, it’s just corporations jumping on the hype train to boost their stock price.
