One day many years ago I had too many drinks and being stupid and naive and I bought adobe cs5. I still use it on the same computer I installed it a decade ago. Activated and installed only once. Today they revoked the access to it. Clicking the link they say "revoked because purchased from an untrustworthy reseller"
Yeah... untrustworthy reseller, look at the invoice and see who sold&shipped that physical copy...
Contacted support, they said that they won't do anything about it because it's EOL.
Moral of the story: don't do like me. If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing. Never give your money to Adobe.
I recently commented about how much I hate Adobe for their horrible subscription tactics, and the fact that the Canadian government REQUIRES you to use Adobe reader to sign PDFs in order to immigrate to canada.
The last time I complained to them, they offered me a free extended trial in order to make things right. I tried to cancel the free trial on July 10th, and was informed that it would cost $100 to cancel my contract.
I don't have enough money to hire lawyers, but I am 100% sure what they did was illegal. I have a severe mental health disorder, which resulted in me trying to kill myself after being literally fucking raped by a company. July 10th is also my birthday, which was fucking great. I fucking LOVE me a good corporation, they bring so much joy to the world.
Sorry for the TMI, I fucking hate this company.
Canada's kinda a joke tho, were just america cosplaying as europe cause it makes us feel good - but just gives us twice the drawbacks and the rich twice the benefits
(I just want a fucking apartment without going in debt, is that too much to ask)
