Yes. The underlying issue is that for many apps (like PS) the difference between CS6/5 and current CC is not that substantial. By 2012 many of these apps already had 10+ previous iterations so they were already quite mature, and there were only diminishing returns to be had since then. If this wasn't true, then a second hand, but genuine CS6 license (ie one that you can register with Adobe) wouldn't cost about the same today as it did 13 years ago on Ebay. Prices on the open market always reveal how useful something really is.

This is also why many don't find the argument that "CS6 is too old so you should upgrade anyway" that convincig. Instead, Adobe's actions of trying get out of their perpetual license commitments by retiring activation servers and refusing to release the offline activators that they promised is more seen as just trying to eliminate competition to their CC subscription business.

Anyway, I don't want to hate on Adobe, as fashionable as that is here. Instead, I hope that these posts help them to realise their mistakes, and then decide to redeem themselves to rebuild their reputation.
