    MmmMaarten got a reaction from Spelmann in Affinity is joining the Canva family. RIP ?   
    No offence and we're probably thinking the same, but I don't agree exactly. It's not 'Never say never'. Speaking out loud what your principles as a company are I think is a good thing. It's keeping these principles and promises and have some spine in your back that's what's strongly failing here. Simple as that.

    If you are so lame to just leave your own principles out of pure greed, while betraying the user base that helped you be in this position, you're worth nothing and don't even get where you were coming from. Which is bad.

    It's disrespectful to say the least. People and companies like me trusted this company and feel betrayed, because we are. Not because the company said their principles out loud (used as marketing when they needed us because that's what attracted their clients in the first place), but because the company left these own principles in a blink of the eye when the money came. Total lack of integrity and spine. And also lack of long term business sense and even a sense of understanding what is the reason for existance of this product range and your user base.

    It doesn't even matter what they will or won't do in the future; somebody who cheats cannot be trusted and will cheat again. And again. As it's already proven that their words mean nothing and cannot be trusted.

    You can talk whatever you want, but you as a company PROMISED us without any fussy wording that you would NEVER going to let another company aquire you. You stated that LITERALLY. And yet here we are, not even that much later.

    Your words mean NOTHING. Spineless. 

    Companies that treat clients like this and fail to even respect their own principles, that were the company and product value to begin with, are not worth any more trust. I left instantly because we just cannot trust you. You sold out.

    Yet another company not keeping promises and selling out ('we will never') and having fluid worthless principles. Spineless. Disrespectful to clients that helped the company grow, but will leave soon. Sad business policy. Trust was gone as soon as you as a company broke your own promises. Yet another sell out going for money, not understanding what caused the value to even be there. Short sighted.

    Haha, clearly no hope.
    I've bought Luxology Modo (3d) at early stage, perpetual license was their credo, nice team, great communication. They sold to Foundry, big CG company, with the exact same speech, almost word to word (really, i laught reading the CEO's text...). One year later : subscription. Two years later : Modo was almost killed by Foundry and is now barely alive...
    I've bought ZBrush at early stage, perpetual license, free upgrades for years and years (incredible, by the way...). They sold to Maxxon, another big CG company. Well, do i need to tell the story ? You get it. (except Maxxon didn't kill it, at least)
    I' m out of this business now, so no big deal for me, but i could bet my house on the licence policy's future...

    First of all: I am not writing this out of anger or to "bash" Serif. On the contrary: If I didn't care about the programs AND the company, I would have just read and that's that. But since I have appreciated both the Affinity Suite and Serif for ages, I am writing because I am both concerned (very much so) and saddened by this development.
    Saddening news and I am really devasted about it. I switched from Adobe's in$anity exactly 10 years ago and loved this company to death - even having used their Page Plus, Draw Plus, Web Plus etc. for years before the Affinity line was published.
    Using the Affinity suite was (and for the moment: still is) great. 
    However having been around for almost half a century and knowing how acquisitions - especially in the tech world - end up nearly all the time, I just can't see any other future than: V3 - subscription (why else would the FAQ include red flags like no changes at the moment and updates to V2). If Canva keeps the apps at all and not just "include" some of their most wanted aspects into their, well, "app beloved by millions and millions of users".
    I'll keep an eye on how this whole situation unfolds.
    However I will start with a *very* heavy heart to look for alternatives instead of going on a haul on their spring sale (which I would have, if there wasn't this bad news). This time and for the lack of alternatives in the Open Source area. I don't want to be caught off guard again if Canva "surprisingly" changes its mind and the monthly fee is advertised with the "nicest" PR bullsh*t bingo on the website.
    I really really do hope that you, Serif, will, or better said: I really do hope that they/Canva will let you, Serif, really continue with what made your suite so unique AND affordable with a one-time-buy, which is why a lot of us left Adobe's subscription lunacy years ago.
    However my experience tells me that all roads lead to compulsory subscriptions and milking the paying cattle to death.
    Accompanied by horrible AI excesses, because that's the "hot sh*t" today.
    Let's not forget: We're talking about Canva here.
    Really, Serif (or Canva): Please proof wrong.
    Please be the one exception to the rule. 
    Just this one time (referring to the rule of predatory capitalism, not to the Serif team).

    Like many here I came to Affinity after I bailed from decades worth of Adobe use. I point blank refuse to use a subscription model for my tools. I've been using Affinty products happily since the begining and have gotten many colleauges switched over.
    I'm nervous. I used Adobe for years .. they went subscription and I moved on, I used Hitfilm pro for years. They were bought and promised "They had no plans" to go down the subscription path. Within months they did just that. I now use Davinci Resolve. Which frankly is 10x better but I digress.

    To cut a long story medium length. I just want Affinity to know that if you go down the subscription path for V3, which let's face it is what they plan otherwise they wouldn't have been so careful to only speak of V2, then I and all the people I know will move on to other software.
    Of course you can end all this doom and gloom speak by categorically stating that Affinity products will ALLWAYS remain once off purchases. I really hope you do.

    Hi All,

    I am thrilled to announce that Affinity is joining the Canva family.
    This is a moment of great excitement, anticipation, and profound gratitude for all of you who have been part of our story so far. 
    We know that those of you who’ve put your faith in Affinity, some since we launched our very first Mac app, will have questions about what this means for the future of our products. Since the inception of Affinity, our mission has been to empower creatives with tools that unleash their full potential, fostering a community where innovation and artistry flourish. We've worked tirelessly to challenge the status quo, delivering professional-grade creative software that is both accessible and affordable. 
    None of that changes today.
    In Canva, we’ve found a kindred spirit who can help us take Affinity to new levels. Their extra resources will mean we can deliver much more, much faster. Beyond that, we can forge new horizons for Affinity products, opening up a world of possibilities which previously would never have been achievable. 
    Canva’s revolutionary approach to design democratisation and commitment to empowering everyone to create aligns perfectly with our core values and vision. This union is a testament to what can be achieved when two companies that share a common goal of making design accessible and enjoyable for everyone come together. 
    I want to express my deepest gratitude to our incredible Affinity team. Your passion, dedication, and relentless pursuit of excellence have been the driving force behind our success so far, and I can’t wait to continue this journey with you all. 
    To our loyal users and the creative community, your support and feedback have been invaluable. You’ve inspired us to push boundaries and continuously improve, and we’re excited to embark on this new chapter together. 
    The future is bright, and I am incredibly excited to continue our story together and create a world where design is within everyone's reach.
    With heartfelt thanks,
    Ash

    We have made four pledges to the Affinity community which you can read here. We have included some FAQs at the bottom of the announcement article here. A video message from me with some more background is on YouTube here. This announcement post is locked, but I have included a duplicate of it in the questions forum here which you can respond to.
