  1. All I can say is that I just really want to move away from Adobe, they stick a knife in your back and they slowly twisting it in. I use Windows and I want to move to Linux, the only thing which is stopping me is adobe products. The main one I use is Photoshop people say use Gimp, but that has horrible UI/UX the only one which really beats Photoshop is affinity when I tried it I was shocked on how good it is! just for £48.99 that's a mind blowing price, I would be happy to pay around £150 or even more but the thing which stops me from buying it is that it don't support Linux . I know there has been talk about crowed funding and its a ishy topic from what I've been reading, but from my stand point I would be so willing to throw some money in there even if I don't get it straight away or if I have to wait 2 years I would be happy to wait. I'm not a hobbyist I work in a design agency, everybody else uses Linux besides the design team. The company would love to replace adobe since they would be saving a lot of money not just that they would rather pay a up front price and that brings me onto the next bit, I feel affinity should change their pricing example : Hobbyist: £48.99 Freelance: £68.99 Business: £250 you've got to take the prices as a pinch of salt but you get my point. To the affinity team there is a ever growing market in Linux for design products. Adobe has seen the huge amount of people who wants them to support Linux its around 10k people so if you was to charge £48.99 x 10000 = £489900 and that's from only a small chunk of the demand not to mention pirating, there is a HUGE amount of people who pirate adobe products because of the price and monthly fee, not saying I've printed Photoshop for my own personnel use because of their price but it means that those very people would buy your product. I don't want adobe taking this stoplight from affinity but it would be a sad moment if they do .
