Awh fuck. I bought a lifetime thing for the whole Affinity studio like two years ago when it was on sale. Is there a decent alternative to Affinity? I would rather not go back to GIMP for images, just cos the UI/UX isn’t so smooth!
The current version of Affinity is great and will continue to work forever—there’s no need to switch to an alternative if you’re already using it. I just don’t have much hope for its future development.
Oh no, when did they get bought by those ghouls?
Just over a year ago.

One of their pledges when they were bought was to always have a standalone product to buy so people don’t have to do subscriptions.
That’s good of them. We’ll see what their Canva overlords think of those nice intentions 🫡
