I wonder if they recognize that "not a subscription" is a huge part of Affinity's market position though.

If you're going to force a subscription, why wouldn't I just use photoshop?

Maybe they want to compete with the price per subscription: let's say they want to charge 5 € per month for Photo, Design and Publisher each, against 26 € for Photoshop (alone).

Maybe.

Wouldn't make a difference to me though. If you go to a subscription, I'm leaving, and with a lot of bad blood.
