[No extra discount for existing users (split)]

Mac App Store doesn't support discounted upgrades, it's standard practice to just have an upgrade level discount when a new version launches as a workaround so people don't have to pay full price.

Think back to before the MAS existed, it's not like a new version of application would be 40% off for new users and 50% off for existing ones. I'd be full price for new users and 25-50% for people with a previous version.

This is certainly how I'm viewing it and it seems to be how Affinity is approaching the situation. It's a new product launch for them. I'm seeing everyone being able to reap the benefit of the upgrade price for a short period. 

My personal bummer is that I recently purchased their three products for Windows in mid-September. While I got them for a nice price, especially coming from Adobe's model that I didn't want to afford anymore, it's hard to want to spend more in the following weeks while this promotion is happening. Had I purchased them six months ago, I'd probably be less bummed about. Three is just too recent. But it is what it is and I get their situation. 

As it stands, I want v2, but will probably wait until another promotion simply because I just purchased their expired product too recently.
