1) ps6 is still available for purchase and they will still update it via patches. If you buy cs6 you get your first year of CC for 19.99 a month.

2) yep, great chance Lightroom will no longer be standalone same with adobe after effects.

3) it's all about anti piracy and the company trying to recover lost funds due to customers stealing their software constantly.

I am completely against this move because much like renting I am pro buying on anything because renting just loses money and does not retain value. They take away the value of photoshop by making you pay 600 a year for new customers to have access to CS. This is a steep price for people who may still be using cs4 or even cs5. Because to them it's not worth the upgrade. The plus side is even if they do not release new drivers for camera raw. You can always conver raws to DNG and use them with any version of CS you have
