Farscaper

If I spent less time reading forums, buying software, and watching tutorials, I might actually produce something worthy of a program's development. Instead, I have a shelf full of unopened disks and a computer clogged with terabytes of inspiration, awaiting my more than nominal access for updating. I am a very frugal person despite my addiction to software. Still, I buy from those worthy of my money and I just bought Windows Affinity Designer because I'm a long-time Serif customer and felt the bonuses had value even if I never use them, just to support their developers, and Serif of course. I abhor unfairness, but to assume the launch offer will be taken up by enough people to shift the balance of fairness away from beta testers, loyal customers or those that bought X8 is indeed a bit much. Serif can only dream of such a marketing coup. I can be a complainer (solely to help) at times, but this isn't one of those times. The thoughtful and detailed responses from management and staff were more than most companies afford their clients and they made perfect sense to me. Now I just hope that my minimal financial support brings about the next great artist of our generation who actually uses the product.
