no v2 upgrade for v1 users

[kai.wheatley]

Although I think it's great that you guys have maintained a perpetual license for all your products at a reasonable price, I think it's ridiculous that you would not offer current license holders a discounted price for v2. We have already paid for a perpetual license. Key word there is perpetual. I understand that creating and maintaining software costs money, and that you deserve to be rewarded for your work - but you are essentially going back on your word. It wasn't a perpetual license I purchased, it was a versioned license I purchased, marketed as a perpetual license, which is dishonest marketing. The only reason I purchased your software in the first place was because of the dishonest and manipulative practices of that other company. I have no issues paying for a major upgrade of the software, however asking current license holders to pay full price is essentially making us pay 2x the amount of new users. We already bought the software, and going from v1 to v2 is an upgrade, it is not a completely new software. 

Don't be like those other guys. And don't try and claim the "40% launch price" should be enough, because the 40% discount seems to be active more than it's inactive, meaning that the 40% is closer to regular than the claimed regular price. Truthfully, another somewhat dishonest marketing tactic...

And I just bought Designer and Photo a couple months ago. :(

Not to mention the fact that if we don’t want to upgrade there wont be any bug fixes for v1… and there is an annoying one with the new M2 iPad and the new hovering function, when drawing with the pencil it doesn’t detect well that you are raising the pencil so it leaves an ugly blob of ink at the end of the stroke where you lifted the pencil…something that doesn’t occur on iPads that don’t have this new hovering function.

Same brush:
