Yeah, that purchase worries the hell outta me tbh.

Been using Affinity Designer and Photo for years, and happily paid for version 1 and the upgrade to version 2.

Now, I'm worried they'll go for a new sub-based tier and limit features to the sub-version over the perpetual license, or hold features back for a version or two of the perpetual license version.

Or the amount of AI-related bullshit they'll stuff the apps full of now, that will require a separate payment model for generation of images or fill-ins.

Eurgh.
