Just 4h ago I went to affinitys website because I wanted to download photos for my work laptop and I got a page "we're working on something big. stay tuned". And now I'm seing this. I'm hyped.

Edit: Looks like there's no discount if you already own a license which is a bummer considering they advertised with selling you a lifetime license.

If you bought a lifetime license to the previous version, you can still use the previous version. (That's most commonly what "lifetime" license means... it's called that in contrast to a "subscription" where you can't keep using it if you stop paying.)

Usually people who offer upgrades for life will use those words.

I bought photos and designer for Windows and iPad. My daily driver is now a Mac, and I was hoping for a cyber Monday type sale to pick up a Mac version. This seems good to me, and the sale feels like a nice upgrade discount.

It's life time for that version. You can continue using your old version forever. I paid my $40 or $60 whatever 3 years ago and have gotten way more than $40 of value out of it.

I'm about to happily plunk down money again because the price is right, it's a perpetual license, and it's a solid product.

I just wish they'd release a DAM, because that's the one item I need right now.
