God fucking dammit.

Well at least I got the full suite now, and hopefully they won't force subscriptions on existing users.

My first thought was, “here comes the subscription.”

Guaranteed this will happen. Even skylum has been taking Luminar on a steady path toward subscriptions too (Luminar and affinity being the two paths I went when ditching Adobe).

Probably not, that would cause too much bad PR. They'll just make it more and more inconvenient to keep your prepaid suite until most users switch over

I think if there’s anything big corporations have learned over the past few years, it’s that PR doesn’t matter all that much.

I won't switch over. The whole point is avoiding thr subscription model.
