No, I still have my photos that I processed over the years...just like if I cancel my cable subscription I have nothing in my hand but I do have previous years of watching movies.

Sorry, your analogy is inaccurate and rife with contradictions.
In most markets, if you were unhappy with one cable/television content provider ... you have multiple competitive providers that can and do offer nearly the same exact content for nearly the same exact price, level of service and quality of product. If for any reason you chose to use a competitor service, there would very likely be no noticeable difference in changing providers. You could still enjoy a nearly identical experience with the other options incurring little if no inconvenience.
Conversely, in many cases, you can't move to other software options and pick up where you left off seamlessly. Sure, there are other apps that can open and display finished images processed in Ps ... but there aren't any that I am aware of who can read the processing applied by ACR/Lr ... any work applied to the latter is lost if you choose to step off the treadmill of perpetual payment ... for any reason. Should Adobe ever choose to only offer CC licensing for Lr.
My images are much more important to me than any theatrical production I may watch on cable. Comparing the two services and claiming they are the same is ludicrous at best.

I'm ok with converting my images to Tiff if I ever choose to move away from Adobe. That is my way out if it comes to that and I don't lose my images. Let's not get too dramatic now. I can say you are in the same boat staying with the current version of PS as one day it won't work on your latest hw/OS combination and your work will be toast.
True, but that is a long cycle. Windows 8 will be around into the next decade. By then the CC issue will be sorted out.
