Pretty much how I feel. I was OK with the transition to v2 because I thought the upgrade path was reasonable, but I feel like at some point I'm going to get screwed now.
Though without updates the current version should be fine for me for the foreseeable future,
I wonder if they recognize that "not a subscription" is a huge part of Affinity's market position though.
If you're going to force a subscription, why wouldn't I just use photoshop?
Maybe they want to compete with the price per subscription: let's say they want to charge 5 € per month for Photo, Design and Publisher each, against 26 € for Photoshop (alone).
Maybe.
Wouldn't make a difference to me though. If you go to a subscription, I'm leaving, and with a lot of bad blood.
