Affinity sold to Canva

[Jonopen]

received an email from affinity/canva with more reassurance, the bottom line being:



I hope the pledges mean more than some our beloved leaders have been making of late

Pledge 3 - seems quite a shrewd move

I've not been following the conversations on the Affinity forums (life's too short), but I LOL when I saw the picture of three coffins!

Pledge 3 - seems quite a shrewd move

since affinity are 'an adobe alternative' and I have no reason to believe that will change for now at least, it mkes a whole load of sense

I have a feeling serif used to do this back in the day with drawplus, but I could be wrong...

At the end we can only wait and see, hoping for the best.
And that's the same here with Xara Designer Pro too.
We were all waiting for Xara give us a Perpetual versione beside the subscription one.
It looks like that this Is not as very clear as and intention as it may be, we will see.

Marco, regarding a perpetual version, Xara have published this page (accessed via the 'Buy Now' button).

Not sure but I think there are still some unanswered questions about bug fixes and updates.
