I only purchased Affinity few months ago - due to the ongoing included upgrades. Before that I had a sketchy copy for a bit for evaluation but wanted to be legit. I don't use it much, I'm just a small business, suffering massive downturn thanks to lockdowns over the past couple of years, but wanted to buy and support a good company supporting it's products. Now after using it a handful of times it's a dead-end product. I know 40% off is nice, but I just bought it for the ongoing upgrades AND ANYONE OFF THE STREET GETS 40% OFF NOW ANYWAY - I'M NOT A VALUED CUSTOMER! This falls way below my expectation of on-going upgrades. PowerDirector did a similar thing too, hate them now. Let upstairs know it motivates me to keep using sketchy copies when paid-up users get shafted. I regret supporting serif now.
