Take photoshop for example. Paid 350£ for a year subscription. It wouldn’t be so bad in a year - I’d own this software, but no, in 12 months lease runs out and u don’t own shit!

Honestly I like the subscription for Adobe. It seems pretty reasonable for what you get if you use the programs often. I use them about every day so the ten bucks a month seems cheap.
But I do miss the days of just buying software outright sometimes. I feel this way with video games more. Its so much more convenient to just buy the license but I like having the physical medium, I suspect this is just because of my age though.

Photoshop CS6 extended.
Unless you are in an industry that uses photoshop, plugins, and you need to import and export between substance painter or another program, CS6 Extended has everything you will need and you own it in perpetuity. I don't do software licenses and either find a way to own my copy or I seek an alternative.
I have been using CS6 for years and years and it does everything I need it to do. Your plugin selection may be limited but it will be the same way on the "new" system because not all plugins get ported. It actually still imports and exports between substance painter and most programs without any issues.
Most software now wants to lock you into a subscription and continue to pay, the best way to solve this is to flat out reject it. Subscriptions cost, or make more money in the long run than outright buying the software ever could. Some software has a "buy once" option but the cost is exorbitant.

Found this
Quote:
: As of January 2017 you can no longer buy Photoshop CS6 from Adobe. The other option, is to buy a copy directly from Adobe. You can still get copies from their website, it's just hidden and not advertised anymore (they want you to use their Creative Cloud option instead).
Got a link where I can buy it ? Cos I cant find shit
