I bought AP and AD to support Affinity Serif because they were promising a DAM application at the time. Then they diverted their resources to develop for Windows causing a predictable slow down on the Mac side - despite what they claim. Now they say development on the DAM hasn't even started and probably won't be available until at least 2018. I'm an old timer too, so I'll most likely be past it by then. I also notice a slow down in forum activity over the past months. Like many others, I'm feeling fed up with broken promises. I'll just have to stick with my CC subscription and Adobe's lack lustre asset management system instead. I guess many others will have reached the same decision.
