Buy Photo for Mac other than Apple's Mac Store?


Recommended Posts

Apple needs to be involved in part because they, not Serif, are responsible for distributing updates for all apps sold through the Mac App Store, including the Mac versions of the Affinity apps.

 

The Mac OS includes built-in anti-piracy & anti-malware protections for all software distributed through the MAS. If Serif distributed the Mac versions outside the Mac Store, they would have to build a different version with some alternate form of anti-piracy protection & distribute them from their own servers instead of using Apple's global server network.
