The original question posed by this thread is entirely about the availability of updates. It has nothing to do with contrasting price models in different countries, if you wish to debate that I suggest you begin a new thread or we'll get into a three-way argument. Neither is this a topic about whether CC is a good or bad idea, financially or morally. Plenty of other threads for discussing that!
You don't seem to grasp that availability of updates is directly related to 'value for money'. If there are no relevant updates, it is not worth the money, If Adobe has proven to be rather lackluster in their updates, the implicit question is, what makes the new model so much more attractive?
As a paying customer, I want to see my money's worth. I have historically not seen anything but bug fixes in point releases. The question is what will change to give me more BFTB or am I only discriminated by Adobe based on the country I live in, without anything essential changing?
The original question is what do I get EXTRA that could not be delivered with the perpetual license and why? Steven made an effort to explain that and I appreciate his effort, but that still leaves a lot of questions unanswered. If you prefer to make that a separate issue and thread, go ahead and move this post to a new topic or get someone else do it for you, I don't care. I do object to the way you circumvent the issues I raised, but maybe you will reply to-the-point if and when this is made a separate topic. I will not, since it would be double posting, something that - as you should know - if frowned upon.
Pr CS6 has some 'issues' which on a practicable level will only be resolved in CC, simply because of the amount of work involved - and that really annoys people. Subscription means that those 'major fixes' will be released a lot faster, as engineering will be working to a rolling timetable, and people will get them free no matter how much work is involved.
That sounds pretty optimistic. If a number of my bug reports have been referred to CS Next, or CC Future, it means that they are postponed till a new version arrives. Some of these bugs date back to CS5 and have not been solved but deferred to CC8 or whatever comes out after CC7, maybe because they were difficult to solve, but the new model does not make it easier to solve them, it will still require lots of effort to correct them. I can't share your optimism that these 'major fixes' will be released a lot faster.
Bugs that exist in CS5, that have not been solved in CS5.5, not in CS6 and still not in CC7 do not bode well for faster solutions.
