ljredux Posted November 2, 2022 Posted November 2, 2022 One year after trialling Photo and Designer and deciding I wasn't quite ready to migrate from Photoshop and Illustrator I finally have time to make an effort to migrate to the Serif products. The possibility of a looming 2.0 release is now stopping me though. Gotta wonder how many others are hesitating over those Buy buttons.
Leo1 Posted November 2, 2022 Posted November 2, 2022 That is probably one of the main reasons, why there is not more information about the update. I guess the release date is around black Friday. The Affinity people are very customer focused, so undoubtly they have spent countless hours to discuss how to approach customers who bought 1.x close to the release date of 2.0. If there is another reason to wait, possibly a last minute bug, so then it is very good to wait. ljredux 1

ljredux Posted November 2, 2022 Posted November 2, 2022 I guess I'll check-in every couple of weeks to see if there's any news. I'm not buying V1 now if V2 is imminent and I have to buy it all over again to stay current. Thanks for the replies. 🙂

Thanks for the replies. 🙂 It may well be that if you purchase Affinity 1.XXX after a certain date, you get Affinity 2.0 free. I should imagine Affinity 2.0 will be generously discounted for users of 1.XXX anyway. And there may well be an introductory 2.0 price to boot. Patrick Connor 1

Bad_Wolf Posted November 3, 2022 Posted November 3, 2022 I am surprised about the kind of speculation here. First someone expected 26 October, now I read another person expect 25 November (Black Friday). Maybe some people should invest in a crystal ball. I used my crystal ball which tells me the release of v2.0 will be on 31 November! I am very sure about this date because my crystal ball is never wrong. The reality is that we all have to wait until v2.0 is released.
