Hey guys, I’ve got a Windows XP machine that won’t install the current version of Illustrator. Should I A. pirate a copy from 2005, or B. enter the 2020’s by buying a new laptop?

Not quite the example I gave...

Adobe stole from me...
1) A working Illustrator version I paid for that they could easily have kept online, IMO (it did not have server interaction, AFAIK)
2) They kinda steal my money cos ideally I have to buy a plugin update to be able to work again
3) They steal my credibility as one of the major A(dobe)-holes there denies what happened to me...
4) They continually and majorly steal everyone's time by hardly fixing bugs.
5) Instead they are dumbing everything down so everyone can be lured into subbing while pros are left in the cold...

When I was still on the forums 3 years ago I saw plenty raging people all the time.

YEAP -- at this point I will advise everyone to steal from Adobe as much as they can!

This explains so much

I think if you showed this post to 100 people, 99 of them would laugh at it and say you’re wrong. I’m not here to change your mind but maybe just zoom back and look at what you’re actually saying here.

Yeah, he's IMO pretty shady. But, I don't know him IRL, so that's a good thing.

Hard to say, it’s very nuanced because of something totally unrelated
