> I pondered buying V2 as a V1 owner, but now they can kiss my butt.

you're...declining to support a company you like that makes software you like, that is offering a massive discount to you, because at some point in the future they may not allow more activations of version 2, which would not affect your ability to use version 1 in any way?

this is a rather idiosyncratic position to take.

> The only downside is that Affinity V2 has no option to save files in a V1-compatible manner. Which stinks for exchanging stuff with other Affinity users.

as an affinity user, I am glad they didn't do that and instead did almost literally anything else with that engineering time.
