Quote - Yup, I signed the petition.  Last I saw they had over 30,000 signatures.  There's been quite an ongoing protest in Adobe's forums but they don't seem to care.

They don't. In fact they expected to lose some customers and expecting losses for 2013 and 2014 with 2015 seeing the first increases. They seriously plan to wait out all of those who want to wait to see what Adobe will do - fully expecting our resolve to lose steam and then join the CC. They really do not care about this portion of their userbase. It is ONLY about the bottom line. It's NOT about creating the tools that hobbyists and professionals want or need - it's ONLY about money.

For me, I will NEVER join the CC and Adobe can take a flying leap. Imagine if this is how they treat their loyal customers now, what is in store for those who support them by joining CC? They may even lower the price to make it more attractive to the holdouts, but that price WILL go up. When they've got what they feel is a large userbase stuck on the cloud, they WILL begin to raise the prices. It's inevitable since they will NEED to make more and more profits - their shareholders will demand it.
