@mbt3d The Affinity press release shows exactly the same "We're so excited and grateful" bullshit as Pixologic wrote when they sold themselves to Maxon. It's all commercial self-interest, as usual.

The FAQ is also reminiscent of the ZBrush FAQ after the Maxon take-over: there's no explicit "There won't be a subscription". 😖

Maxon introduced subscriptions faster than you could process the Pixologic take-over.

@mbt3d @metin And I wonder if this was the plan all along: secretly planning for a takeover (and luxury yacht) as they smiled at our social media posts which promoted Afinity as a moral alternative to that gluttony which is adobe. Affinity even had a sweet little “Spring Sale” last week. I will now commence to uninstall…. #deleteaffinity

@JimPostier @metin Totally I did it with Alegorithmic too, promoting the small studio against the big guys.
Even more so with Serif, a bad taste for sure.

@metin @mbt3d I don’t know about that Metin. I personally think anything written in Dutch looks more sophisticated :)

@JimPostier @mbt3d Hahaha, for me it's the other way round. I guess it's the same phenomenon as watching a film in your own language. I usually can't get into Dutch films, because I can only see and hear fellow Dutch speakers acting, in stead of getting pulled into an alternate dimension by a film in a different language.

@metin @mbt3d I decided to choose “other” as the reason for unsubscribing from the Affinity email list, allowing for a more truthful answer:
