Ableton states you are eligible for an educational discount if you are: a student currently.

I hope that helps put things into perspective. Ableton offers up to 40 off its tools for students and educators. I don't know what you do for a living but instead of getting paid for my hard work right now I'm actually the one paying on top of it.

You probably paid more than me for your 'standard' version or even a lot more depending on your history and the amount of upgrades of Live you purchased but your childish, jealousy fueled hate doesn't really seem to be relevant to me here. It would seem like a pretty standard commercial gesture to me given the circumstances. It would be nice and they would get a satisfied new customer. Preferably without having to pay 10% more than I should have for being an idiot (or missing the non-existant memo that mentioned Live suddenly costing 30 € more for no reason, despite the same 40% discount still active) If youre studying at or employed by an educational institution, you can save 40 on Live 10 Standard or Suite.

I'm probably the only idiot who wants to buy Live less than 24 hours after the 2 month (?) discount period and given my explanation it's obvious that I just wanted to buy Live, in all good faith. I'm curious why you think they shouldn't. The educational discount for Ableton is by far the best deal, and you can get Suite for as little as 300-400.
