Photoshop's method of forcing upgrades in the past is to not support the latest RAW formats or improved conversions in older PS versions. I might just buy a separate RAW converter and live on my current Photoshop versions for a very long time.
It is becoming more common but I want to resist it where I can. I hope Adobe feels it in their revenue but I think I'm shoveling against the tide because the subscription program lets more people work the whole Creative suite with less initial investment.

Microsoft is going this way in their Office 365 product they are trying to push and I foresee soon the full office one paid going away in the next couple versions.
