@abendlaender: Wow, you really went there, you just compared an editing sofftware, to a games console, and some video games...
I'm speechless, congratulations.
A fool and his money...
Not trying to pick a fight or anything, but you really are making some asinine comments. The same can be said for video games. If someone's hobby is video editing, then what is the problem paying the same amount of money on it as you would for games?
If my hobby is music, then why can't I buy hundreds or thousands of dollars in gear/software?
If my hobby is programming, then why can't I buy the tools needed to make a professional product?
If I remember correctly, you started a thread a couple of weeks ago about buying a mic for your YouTube channel. Why even pose the question when you could just go buy a shitty $20 headset. I don't see how that is any different than somebody wanting a better and more professional product than a cheap alternative.
Well, sorry if i'm coming off looking like an asshole, but, i strongly believe that, if i'm going to spend a crazy amount of money on something, i'm gonna have something physical to show for it.
And it was already hard enough for me to start buying $10/15 digital games this gen, so there's no way i will ever feel confortable paying $500 for any piece of software.
And it just rubbs me the wrong way when someone is willing to pay so much money for a digital license...
Utimately, the only reason video editing software costs so much is because studios have legal responsibilities, so they need to own those licenses, to be able to make millions producing their movies, and tv shows.
It's just Sony and Adobe trying to get their piece of the pie.
And $400-500 is just the low level package, big studios pay upwards of $3000 for each license.
