That is terrible news!

Well, at least I can still work it out on Windows 11.

For all the things it has done right, this isn't one of them!

Canva is a no win situation from my perch.

Quote from: jv58 on March 27, 2024, 12:45:40 PMThe game changer here is pledge #3. Giving out the Affinity suite for free to schools and non-profits will create a new generation of users who only know Affinity. It may not happen in my lifetime but this could kill the dynasty that is Adobe. I hope it is successful as Adobe became greedy once they became the only game in town (sorry Quark). Time will tell.
They were always greedy. Their plan was always to destroy their competition and then stick it to the users. Worked like a charm.

Can't see why you'd choose the subscription unless the perpetual version license is going up significantly and you don't have the full wad of cash at the time, or they are saying Canva integration is only with the subscription to both services.

It makes me believe there may not even be a version 3. Canva may just swallow the products up by then.

Exactly. I've worked at way too many print shops where they get bought up (swallowed) by a bigger company. They always say nothing will change but things always change. I believe Canva is a subscription model.

According to the FAQ page it will not change anything in version 2.x. It says nothing about version 3.x though.

I've been using this at home for about a year and was just getting used to it. This is terrible news. Get ready for the switch to a subscription model.
