Photoshop just lost them because of a pissing match going on between Adobe and Pantone and Pantone is now charging a monthly subscription for them to be in Photoshop. This is a really good video about what is going on. This is really going to help Serif get more companies who do professional product design moving their way. Disclosure, despite the clickbait topic, he's not suggesting piracy. I'm not sure Affinity couldn't end up with the same issue potentially. At one point they had the rather genius move to add easy access to 3 stock image providers. Well we only have 2 in Affinity today becuase one got greedy and decided to charge for the API which Affinity had no intention of doing and suddently it disapeared in an "update" Edited November 16, 2022 by Brian Walton 1

I think Affinity would need to have much more of a market share for them to consider it though. This whole thing started because Adobe didn't want to pay a license fee any longer. For now though, it can certainly work to Serif's benefit.

If I am going to upgrade I'll need a better deal. Not that it isn't a good product, I just didn't use v1 enough to justify upgrading it unless it's a smoking deal. 1 1

Yup, but that was for new users. Now they're selling the upgrade for the same price as new licenses. 1

Still, my suspicion is that the sales are not what they were expecting and that's why they're extending it. There were lots of annoyed posts about the pricing on Affinity forums back then.
InstrEd Posted December 12, 2022 Posted December 12, 2022 At $99 Still a steal to probably have years of updates. My problem is will I really use it. I'm still learning version 1.xxx ? 1

You can see my posts here where I'm annoyed too. But I also caved in as I use the program every single week and just hope we get a number of years of updates before another shakedown.
Yan Filiatrault Posted December 12, 2022 Posted December 12, 2022 All other companies are selling similar products for a lot more, either by monthly subscription or with yearly paid updates.
Promidi Posted December 12, 2022 Posted December 12, 2022 It could also be that they chose to use the msix installer - which many Windows users (myself included) cannot use. On the Affinity forums, Affinity have indicated that they will include traditional MSI installers at some time in the future - but they did not give a time frame at the time. I actually purchased version 2 of Affinity Photo 2 but asked for (and got) a refund because I can not use msix installers.
