  1. Honestly, this made me believe there might be substance behind these words. He sounds honest. And how acknowledges that the trust has to be earned and everyone is skeptical right now. I don't trust this new model yet. All my important stuff will stay in v2. But I will start using v3 until you guys mess up. Then it's v2 forever. I'll give you a chance because I want to believe what you say is true. Let's see if it is.

  2. I was shocked and surprised to hear the news but if by doing so more people use Affinity and it really does remain free that's fantastic!
    I've been using Affinity Suite since V1 for pretty much everything I do in one way or another and I hope this is the start of something huge for the software.
    What would really be amazing is if somehow you can open it up to run on Linux. Nearly all of the software I use today has Linux versions, but Affinity is one that doesn't.. Now that would be absolutely incredible. Cheers!

  3. I don't believe a single word that has left his mouth.

    It would be the first company in decades to actually keep its promise.
    And why doesn't Blender make such weird announcements?
    Right, because it actually is and also will be free and open source!
