I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

I switched completely to Affinity Serif design suite and never looked back. One time purchase with free updates, much better.

You could switch to GIMP + InkScape, but I tried it as well and wasn't enough for my usage. Huge learning curve and a lot of missing features.

It's not an one-time purchase. I bought Affinity Photo for this purpose and then they released Affinity 2, and it wasn't a free upgrade for Affinity 1 owners.

I'm not buying Affinity 2 and buying every new release just like Parallels do. I'd rather stick with the old version or take a shot on Gimp instead.

You can still use the old version no?

[-] fuzzzerd@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Yes you can. Paying for a major upgraded version is the alternative to an evergreen subscription, but allows you to milk more usage out of your purchase if you don't need the latest and greatest.

Expecting a one time purchase to entitle you to updates forever is asinine.
