I mean it's reassuring, but I'm still cautious.

At this point, I may as well enjoy it for as long as it that's. I already bought V2 when it came out, so at least I'm set for a while.

At least that’s one plus with actually buying software vs renting it like Adobe. If they close down/go belly up, I still have what I paid for.

True, but people who purchased Photoshop outright also still own it. It's just super old and lacking most of today's features.

That will eventually happen to affinity I’m sure, but at least affinity is ~5% the price a perpetual CS6 license was.

I bought v2 because they built faith and trust with v1. Well That's gone. Time to move on.
