Canva has made its biggest acquisition till date and acquired Affinity suite of creative software products, providing stiff competition to market leader Adobe for its creative suite.
I ordered Designer for the first time last week. Love it so far but I really hope this doesn’t lead to a live service model like their competitors. Seems like that is the way every company is going, hopefully Canva/Affinity can resist that.
Given how canva made their money you can pretty much guarantee they will. Because of Serif’s point of difference (low price, non sub) it’s ripe for them to enshittify.
