I paid for Adobe license several years. I purchased all desktop Mac apps from Affinity plus Designer for Windows. I already have the V2 Universal License.
And I still haven't paid Affinity what everyone pays Adobe for one year only. I'm enjoying and relying on professional results from Affinity apps since 2016.
Currently you pay more to Netflix or Spotify then the 40% off business they are offering. Is it fair? I don't know, it's a business. But for me, as a professional designer, I'll gladly support the only guys on the planet shaking things up within design software market (cheers!). The option is the same old monotony and monopoly. Innovation demands competition.
