I'm giving them a year until lifetime licenses start to mean nothing. (slrpnk.net)

even if they keep lifetime licenses for now, it's blatantly obvious how Canva plans to use Embrace, Extend, Extinguish to move people to a subscription service for newer releases.

If adobe can do it with Photoshop et al. without losing its brand reputation, then Affinity will follow suit in due course.

Yep, they'll probably stop updating the Affinity product and launch a new product line with annual subscriptions. Probably cloud-based.

I was more expecting Affinity to integrate and replace features with Canva until a subscription is all but required for basic functionality.
