    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.
