IMHO, CorelDRAW is the only app in the suite worth using. With them wanting 1/3 the price of an Adobe CC subscription it seems like delusions of grandeur. I can't help but wonder if there is some complacency or denials of reality with regard to the competition out there it seems as if Corel thinks Adobe is its only rival. Otherwise they need to go back to the old model, selling perpetual licenses and traditional upgrades, allowing users to upgrade when they want to do so. That's what they need to do if they want to stick with the subscription model business. If it were up to me I'd maybe have new users pay the $198 per year rate maybe 2 years then drop it to $99 per year as a loyalty bonus. Further, the $16.50 per month standard subscription price seems too high to me. Do that without drilling them with the $300 gouge up front. If they wanted my advice (hell would probably freeze over first) I'd tell them to do this: let any perpetual license holder subscribe for $99 per year. The once a one year cycle makes it seem like a pretty ho-hum, unimpressive thing -but they still wanted $198, the same price for the old upgrades that took 2 years to develop. That cycle provided more time for the development team to build up enough improvements to make full version upgrades somewhat substantial (not to mention have more time to fix bugs). I think Corel was doing better when they had CorelDRAW on a 2 year cycle between full version releases.
