Why are Adobe products so expensive?

Because they're business and company products.

 

In other words companies are willing to spend that much.

 

But they're also very good.

But GIMP is similar to Photoshop and it's free. I doubt Adobe needs that much money. 

 

This is why pirating exists.. 

Most schools, and businesses have these products. Some normal people also have these products.

 

900 bucks or 40 bucks people would still pirate...

 

 

BTW Gimp isn't as good as photoshop just like you mentioned. Why are Mercedes more expensive than Hondas? Quality.

If gimp has 40% of the features as photoshop it doesn't matter as it's free. The price doesn't justify the quality as their programs are bloated and slow, but sadly my school uses them.

 

If it was $40 I would say piracy of photoshop would halve. If it was $40 I would have no problem paying.
