Similar situation(bought Designer V1 about a year ago, directly from them) but I'm not angry. It makes complete sense from their perspective and makes sense for me too.

I completely agree that continued work needs to be payed and I don't expect to buy a software once and receive updates for it forever. If I was using it in a professional capacity all the time, I would have preferred a cheaper monthly subscription but because I'm using it mostly now and then, pay for the V1 and use it forever and pay again if I would like the newer version works very well for me.
