walt.farrell Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Serif have said there will not be a bigger discount. They also have not said how long the initial discount will last.

Yet, if you look on MS Store it says the offer will be on until the 14th of Dec Which gives me a few weeks to bag some online sales and justify this expense (I know it's a good deal but I just forked out about £500 for frames and nobody has bought one yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Serif's Patrick Connor advised forum members NOT to expect any further reductions (i.e. NO Black Friday deals) in another thread.

Ali Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Short of actually giving it away, there will be backlash whatever they do: there will always be a proportion of people you can't please. imageready, NoLongerHere, PaulEC and 1 other 4 Quote Ali 🙂 Hobby photographer.

Pyanepsion Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 @Artsketch, 😁 The day after the fourth Thursday in November (Thanksgiving) traditionally marks the start of the Christmas shopping season in the US, this year on the 25th, but this sale date began on the 9th at Affinity, as it does in many European countries, and I'm going to give you a big reveal. It's time because you're a grown-up now: Father Christmas doesn't exist. It was your parents and relatives who bought the presents and put them under the tree.

awakenedbyowls Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 All the Back Friday sales have started anyway about a week ago - they all run for a few weeks around Black Friday. So this is kinda already a Black Deal as well? lol they should have just called it a Black Friday deal to begin with 😂 It will be on sale on Black Friday, therefore it is already a Black Friday deal You're welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really stung!! I'm assuming you are referring to V1? V2 desktop tpps individually have been on sale for $40 and change (US pricing) since it's been out. Regardless, whether someone paid $69, $49, whichever... the price you paid is what you thought it was worth at the time. I just made some recent $$$ purchases and prices have been fluctuating rapidly. I was aware price could move, but I got away with a steal on a couple of things in my view. I'm just hoping for myself, you, anyone else who wants to feel included in my hoping, that bugs, etc, are addressed quickly so we can move on and start seeing more feature additions like we've been looking forward to.

Staff Ash Posted November 24, 2022 Staff Share Posted November 24, 2022 Let me confirm, there will not be any additional discount for Black Friday - it so happens that our launch offer will continue over it, but we will remain at 40% off until 14th December. mrqasq, Seneca, Ron P. and 2 others 5 Quote Managing Director Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!
