awakenedbyowls Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 Does this include the Universal Licence for £89.99? Quote
Artsketch Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 Looks so. It was foreseeable that the 40% will be extended. Perhaps even permanently. Usual marketing strategy. awakenedbyowls 1 Quote
awakenedbyowls Posted December 13, 2022 Author Posted December 13, 2022 I guess they got some good sales? Fair play to them - I wish V2 all the success they deserve for offering a fairer alternative to Adobe But if I take the plunge with the suite then I want something for my money (other than basically the same software with a few minor new features and probably some new bugs to iron out) Happy using V1 for now but going forward I would like to support them and move over to V2 eventually - it's just a little too steep for me right now and so soon after buying V1 Sam Neil 1 Quote

Usual marketing strategy. Most likely related to the fact that many users had/have payment problems and also some could not get the 30 day trial to run with enough time to test it and then get the discounted offer. Highly doubt it will be a permanent discount Pšenda 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Seems to be like games on Steam - everyone just waits until they're on sale (or most people) Quote

I am happy that they fixed the crash on V1 so, all systems go for me. Quote

awakenedbyowls Posted December 13, 2022 Author Posted December 13, 2022 I'd say the current price range is the sweet spot - be interested to know what the difference in sales between the full price and the 40% discount are? I mean it's a very good alternative to Adobe - but does it do all the things Adobe does? It's enough for me, but other more professional artists might want more professional features that are offered by Adobe but not Affinity. Get the price right - sell more - make more money Also more people using the software and identifying bugs Less is More 👍 Quote

Highly doubt it will be a permanent discount Far more likely due to the time it is taking them to get the old-style installer going for the Windows version due to the number of people complaining about the newer format and even running into issues where the IT departments at some workplaces are refusing to let them use the software.

Just Blondie Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 So sad I missed this Wondering if the 40% off will ever happen again? Quote
PaulEC Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 Serif do tend to offer the Affinity software on sale from time to time, but there is no guarantee when the next sale will be, nor what the discount will be.

It's unlikely, in my opinion. 20% might happen at some point, but probably not more than that.
