I'm sad (buyer of both v1 and v2). Being a paid app as opposed to require a subscription was the main selling over the Adobe Suite. A lot of users migrated to Affinity for that reason. As the free version will get more and more crippled as they move to pushing subscriptions, why not switch back to Adobe?
I hope somebody else will try to crack this market like affinity did a decade ago.
I’m kinda keen on this. A few months ago I was looking at making a one time magazine print, but I discovered there were essentially no affordable options. The affinity option was the cheapest one, but still unaffordable for a one time
project.
I don’t even mind paying a subscription but the adobe option requires you to get a minimum of 12 months.
I hope somebody else will try to crack this market like affinity did a decade ago.
