I paid for v1 and v2, and would have happily paid for v3.
The reason I’m not using Adobe is to avoid their onerous subscription.
If Affinity has moved to a subscription model then why bother not using the incumbent?
- karel-3d 1y agoI think the price points will be different.
- renewiltord 1y agoOkay so you wanted a different kind of subscription (based on major versions). That’s different from the guy I’m replying to who wants to Buy Software And Just Use It. He can do that with v2. Never needs to pay a penny again.
- Espressosaurus 1y agoNo, I still want the option of sticking with the old version if I decide that I'm done for now and for it to continue working. I want to own my software, not rent it.
- renewiltord 1y agoAll right, well you've got it. There's just no corresponding new version. Just like there are no more albums by Prince. I suppose you were lamenting there were no more songs by Prince, which is fair. I, too, feel that void. Except for the odd fact that now you've got the software without having to pay.
- daemin 1y agoCue the old adage that if you're not paying for something you're the product not the customer... Though in this case the biggest danger is being the training material creator used to train its models for its paid generative AI offering. I would assume people are monitoring the privacy policy and terms of use to know when such a change would happen - if it isn't so already, I haven't checked those documents. As for me I'm happy to stick with v2 for as long as it can function on computers I own and use.
- Gigachad 1y agoBecause Adobe in design costs a minimum of $430AUD while this is free.
- robertoandred 1y agoNow you can have v3 without having to pay anything at all. What’s the problem?
