I think you’re being a bit uncharitable.

They specifically hide the details of the yearly subscription when you signup, and it’s the default option. The renewal, regardless of purchase date, is jan 1, the least likely time for people to be paying attention, and the renewal notice only lists them monthly charge. When you cancel, regardless of the amount of time remaining (that you still pay for), your subscription is terminated at the end of that month.

Yeah yeah, whinge whinge… but does it really make you feel better about yourself to mock others who have been basically scammed out of money by not reading the fine print?

Does it really matter which company does this kind of thing?

That seems quite mean to me… and that uncaring corporate profit at the cost of everything else is “the Adobe way”.

The other posts about Adobe wanting to create a paid marketplace to “monetise” blender seems to be the reason they’re doing this.

Surprise, surprise.
