For years, Affinity's users have been voting with their wallets, choosing perpetual licenses over Adobe's subscription-based suite. We were buying more than access to software; we were buying autonomy and the promise of ownership.

But now, with Canva's acquisition, it feels as though that promise is in jeopardy.

@Daojoan That’s literally why I switched to Affinity. I don't need updates all the time. Let me buy it and use it until I want the new features in your new version. Give me a compelling reason to give you more money.

@Daojoan I was disappointed when I heard the news.
