60% of Photoshop Users are PIRATES

Epicedits writes:

"So here it is… the one week results from our previous poll on software piracy. In that short time, we’ve had nearly 500 photographers cast their votes and the outcome is quite interesting. It looks like Adobe’s high-end photo editing software packages (like Photoshop and Lightroom) are hot items in the pirated software market."

No one is surprised, photoshop is an amazing tool but it's just too expensive. No one would be pirating it if there was an affordable price point, or some kind of express version for students like Microsoft does with Visual Studio.

In school I was in a "design class" (don't know how it's called) and I was asked by my teacher if I have photoshop or if he should get it for me (for free ...)

exactly what I was thinking... Software, especially PC related programs are too expensive. Chop that price to something more reasonable and you're still going to have Pirates but more people will be likely to buy... But no surprise it's heavily pirated considering the outrageous price tag...

Pssst, lemme give you a hint so you don't look stupid next time.

It's News For Gamers, not News About Gaming Only.

Here's another hint, look above, you got Mobile, Industry, Tech and Dev tabs. Some info may not pertain to gaming.
