If you use a proprietary format and don't archive the executables to read them, it's simply not reasonable to expect such an archive to last 14 years. Nothing to do with this TOS change.

I have a lot of old AE projects I sometimes need to modify for clients, so I need AE for those.

Since I can create the same titles/animations in Apple Motion in a fraction of the time that they take to create in AE, I use that for all newer projects.


Unfortunately extremely true for everything they make besides like Dreamweaver
