No, they won't. It's all just subscriptions now.

<h3>What happens to ACR support for CS6?</h3>
<p>As Tom Hogarty states on Adobe's <a
href="http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2013/05/adobe-camera-raw-8-support-for-photoshop-cc-and-photoshop-cs6.html"
target="news-story-9540351301">Lightroom blog</a>, CS6 users
will gain the camera compatibility updates set to arrive on June
17 in ACR 8. These updates, however, will <em>not</em> include
any of the new features seen in the Photoshop CC demo or Lightroom
5 Beta release, such as the Upright tool, Advanced Healing Brush
or Radial Gradient Filter. Adobe is not providing a timeline for
how long new camera support will continue for the ACR version of
Photoshop CS6.</p>
<h3>Can I still buy Lightroom?</h3>
<p>Yes. Lightroom, while available as part of the Creative Cloud
bundle, can still be purchased as a standalone piece of software
at $149 for new users and $79 for owners of any previous version.
Adobe Acrobat can be purchased as a standalone title as well.</p>
<h3>Can I still buy Photoshop CS6?</h3>
<p>Photoshop CS6 is still currently available for a downloadable
purchase <a
href="http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_creativesuite6.html?start=20"
target="news-story-9540351301">here</a> on Adobe's site.<br>
</p>
<p>****paste job ends****<br>
</p>
<p>It isn't like they can make all of their copies of CS6 disappear
or destroy them, so they will be out there, and still working, and
still able to be purchased. <br>
</p>
<p>I also think this Q&A is notable:<br>
</p>
<p><strong><em><span class="highlight">Were you expecting such a
negative response from the photographic community?</span></em></strong></p>
We expected a higher degree of this type of reaction from the
hobbyist photographic community because currently there's not a lot
of photography-specific value in our subscription products.<br>
<br>
"hobbyist", of course, is also the long-time appellation for the
Linux community, so they are drawing a line between the real
professionals out there and the casual hobbyist users.<br>
