Unfortunately, it's not a rumor. They made a mistake calling the subscription CC, though. It should have been called FU. To paraphrase someone else's quote on one of the Adobe forums, "It's like paying for air. Stop paying and everything stops."
I've always upgraded my CS every version, even though I couldn't really justify it financially. I just enjoyed having new features and new that it was an option. I didn't have to upgrade. I could keep using my existing version-- even if I had to keep an old computer and operating system around to make it work. What happens now? Now if you quit paying, you have to go pay someone else full price to keep using your existing files with their software. Anyway, it's looking like CS6 will be my last version. I don't plan to subscribe and wish the rest of you would boycott the idea, just to keep the choice there for those of us who need or want it. I see Adobe stock is down about 10% since the announcement. I hope it falls more so that they'll change their minds.
