I’m so absolutely sick of it.

    I signed up for creative cloud and accidentally signed for a year. They want 60$ to cancel the subscription. Suck my taint.

        Unlike most online services that essentially do not offer refunds (you just ride out the subscription), Adobe has created more of a carrier type plan, where there is a yearly contract so it accrues the same penalty like any phone plan.

        So yeah, legal. Just the worst kind of legal. And that’s Adobe. Just the worst kind.

              I did it a few months back, and immediately cancelled the new plan with no fees, worked a treat. Also FYI the educational discount is pretty great, I set mine up with my daughters email address no issues, I’m not sure how much they check this as it’s not a school email address.

        No it’s always been that way. They have adopted a similar subscription as phone carriers. If you cancel early, you face a penalty.

        Most other subscriptions don’t actually let you cancel and receive a refund (you just ride out the sub). But, that’s Adobe. They’ll always find the worst, shittiest way to make it happen.

        I mean it’s the same company that held the internet down with Flash, that at one point was the top source of nearly all malware through a browser.

      Are you still stuck with this? My brother did the same not long ago, but I found a way to cancel the subscription without having to pay anything!
