Please, Can't We Just Continue To Purchase Photoshop, not CC, Adobe?

Question

Please, could we just continue to purchase our programs, Adobe?
I cannot go along with the Creative Cloud only option.  Although Adobe is offering great "discounts" on the Creative Cloud versions, they will absolutely raise the price each year.  (That is clearly stated in their "Terms.")  Adobe's "special discount introductory offer" goes to the "current price" after the first year.  The $9.99 / month special offer becomes $19.99 or $29.99 after a year (or much more - it is completely at Adobe's discretion how high it goes).
I do not want or need the Cloud, Storage, or Collaborative "features" that are the hallmark of the CC releases.  I am pleased to wait for a year for new features.  (Updates for bug fixes should not be delayed, however.)
This is just like the cable and satellite TV companies, they surreptitiously raise the monthly price, until you are paying INSANE amounts.
Like Woody Allen said (my paraphrasing, sorry):
"If you put a frog into a pot of cold water and slowly bring it to a boil, he will just sit there and boil - because the discomfort change is so slow, he'll hardly notice it, until he is thoroughly cooked!"
Adobe wants us to be that frog.
And once we have all signed up and are comfortable in our plan, Adobe wants us to forget that we are (almost invisibly to us) paying each month - while the price goes up and up each year.
I just read about a student who signed up last year for the "introductory" CC pricing for students, and now his price is going up to $29.99 per month, after just one year.  And where does it stop? Do you think it stops at $29.99? 
(Quick math solution: $29.99 X 12 = $359.88 PER YEAR, EVERY YEAR!  And this is not capped, so the upward monthly price is unlimited!)
Although I love the products, I don't want to pay another gouging cable or satellite company!
Thanks for listening.
And Adobe, could you please, please continue to offer our "old-style" purchasing of new versions of Photoshop?
I will not join the 'Cloud.' 
Please join Me.

To several answerers to my original post:
I'm not crying about potential increases.  I'm demanding that Adobe end this affront to the long-time users that made Adobe (and Photoshop) an international success and a standard.  Yes, we have benefitted from an excellent, forward-pushing application.  But we did not get it for free, and every upgrade was at a cost.  Now, to stay "current," we have to accept a new "business model," that will make Adobe richer per user than previously imagined.  I purchased the Photoshop that was purchased outright, for me to use until my computer OS could no longer do so.  To change this method of using a program that we have used for so long is unacceptable.  I don't want to change - I should not have to change.  It is Adobe that established this method of selling the program to me, and although they can change whenever they want, I don't have to accept it.
It is not enough that "I have the ability to go elsewhere for my imaging / retouching, etc. program.  Adobe owes us in a big way.  We do NOT have to accept this change, when they are taking a program that we all do need and use, and changing our ability to afford it or keep current with features, or when our operating system changes.  I do understand that Adobe wants to make money (I believe that they have, by the way).  But they are changing an understanding, or implicit agreement (whether explicit or "implied" - it does not matter) that we all had with them.  That understanding was that we would be supported in learning, using, and even forming businesses around their product - and we could be assured that they would continue to supply the product in a way that we could dependably and similarly continue to use it.  This is a MAJOR change from the usability that we have come to use, expect, and be comfortable with - and this is NOT acceptable!
As long as Adobe is not satisfied with their subscriber base numbers, they will continue the low initial discount price.  As soon as their numbers approach what they want, the initial discount will end. 
Will prices go up?
Someone asked: "How do I know the prices will go up?"
My initial answer was, "Have you subscribed to any satellite or cable services?"
But here's an example clipped from these very forums:
Creative Cloud billing issues...
Dec 6, 2013 9:04 AM
My year subscription to Adobe Cloud ends in a month and in an email I received it noted that my monthly bill will be going up from 29.99 to 49.99, I have tried to contact Adobe by online messenger and by the phone but no response yet. I am a student at Graduate School and had been paying the student price but now with my renewal it wants me to pay more....something is not right.
If any help could be given, it would be greatly appreciated.
Imagine your $9.99 Introductory Offer going up to $29.99 after one year.
Because it WILL.
So indeed, we may have no power to change this.  We know that they are going to TRY to do this anyway.
But . . . We can still let them know just how strongly we DO NOT WANT THE CC only.
Please: Everyone write Adobe! Tell them this is wrong!  Tell them NO!
They may actually be listening after all.
Or "go silently into that good night," knowing you just kept quiet and accepted what is best for them, without letting them know how you feel about it!
