Photoshop is a legendary piece of software when it comes to things of a visual nature, so legendary that they essentially had an annual subscription to use it since there were frequent new releases that a lot of folks felt compelled to grab to keep with the curb.
I think they tend to get a little too much credit for the subscription switch since their users were already being abused in such a manner. Office to Office360 is the one that's always astounded me. Very few people upgraded office outside of getting a new machine and most businesses tried to pin all of their users to a particular version of office (it was more important that everyone used the same version rather than everyone using the latest version) and, additionally, people weren't actually used to "paying" for microsoft stuff with actual cash. Generally the software you got from MSFT was bundled into the system when you purchased it, and while your money certainly ended up in MSFT's pockets you didn't directly interact with them.
