This will be broken as every similar pledge has been broken on other aquisitions. Maxon promised the same for Zbrush. 2 years later: subscription only and no real update in all this time. It is just marketing trying to soften the blow to the users - IT WILL BE BROKEN. 

I rarely post, but this is one of those times I am compelled to.
The sole purpose I switched to Affinity was because of the license and the oath to be perpetual non-subscription based licensing. Bork that, and I'm out.
Allegorithmic made the same mistake with adobe. I still use the last perpetual license they had for Substance Designer+Painter. I will never support a company that uses a subscription based software unless it also offers perpetual licensing in some form.
For those that say, "Come on, give them a chance", "We don't actually know what they'll do", "you're being an alarmist!", etc. - I've been working professionally for nearly 20 years and several more as a hobby with software like this, this isn't my first rodeo with corpo buyouts like this one. The writing is on the wall. Sure, it might last a year or two more in the form it is now, but it won't be for long.
In short, I've downloaded the latest build and jotted down my serial for safe keeping, in anticipation for the eventual subscription only model, whilst I await the next tool to come along to use.

Yeah, I am very discouraged with this message from the CEO.
I am a former Adobe user, who moved on when they went subscription. Bounced around with tools, all go to some kind of at least semi subscription model.
Then I found Affinity, and have loved it, haven't looked back.
I am a pro user who is here because of the non-subscription business model. 
 
Any be coincidence, my brother in law and close friend, who also is a pro user, and is an adobe guy who has to renew his subscription in a few weeks, and is considering a new tool set, well I sent him the link here to affinity. He first question was, its not a subscription model is it. Said he has zero interest if it is a subscription model.
I unfortunately have to call him shortly and retract my recommendation , or at least give the disclaimer that I am not confident it will remain non-subscription.
This makes me sad, because just yesterday, I had all the confidence in Affinity to put my word on it, and today, that is no longer the case.

Add me to the list of users/customers who will find alternatives is a subscription based model is adopted. I came to Affinity products from Adobe because I prefer purchasing software once rather than renting it forever. Hopefully CanvAffinity gets that.

Welcome to the Liars Club everyone. 
Canva is a DIY replacement tool. You’ve just added your entire User Base to the replacement pool. 
All this time, big talk about professionals, standards, quality, NEVER a subscription model and more, turns out after all to be nothing more than any other Sellout. 
‘Even when forced to purchase V2… and we all did, it was the product believed in “by professionals, for professionals” without being greedy like Adobe having subscription.
And here we are. Canva has nothing your current Users need… as everything Canva can do, WE your Users (you know, the ones that kept you in business) already can do with current Affinity products. 
‘All of the touting and Marketing, and support in MINDSET more than anything… of denying the Adobe Subscription greed train, is finally revealed. 
The only thing mildly good hearing this news, is you didn’t layoff your current Dev Staff… but that’s only because Canva HAS NONE to keep it functioning. 
‘Guaranteed… as soon as the Subscription comes, and it WILL (we all know it), even your/they will be obsolete… so kudos.
Makes perfect sense now as to why fixing or updating your iPad V2 hasn’t happened in several months to a year even though reported numerous times. 
All I know is, I purchased BOTH V1 and V2 of all three Affinity apps for iPad… not even the Universal License as some (which YOU recommended)… and expect to be able to use them in perpetuity as you claimed in writing. Else the term Class Action happens, which is typical where PROFESSIONALS are concerned.
Enjoy your money Sellouts.

This is the sad truth that they think won’t really happen. They will convince themselves that they’ll keep enough of the user base. Wrong. Affinity built its user base on trust and an ethical pricing model. Canva has neither of those.

We are here because of the affinity pricing model

Kill this pricing model and kill your user base.
But your going to do it anyway and pretend that will be different somehow.

Adobe has massive feature set for its subscription that Affinity can't compete with
Canva has nothing to offer me .
It's obvious what's going to happen, and gushy executive mailouts just destroy our trust a bit faster.

I need to plan a business. I'm tired of this corporate BS, causing perpetual chaos.
