How long until the option to buy-once for this software goes away? I am not a fan of this trend.

#32> These apps will continue receiving updates, with the latest versions adopting the beautiful new visual design language with Liquid Glass on all platforms Are the Apple people really this oblivious, or is someone in PR trolling us?
Apple no longer supports GL, so Liquid Glass - GL = Liquid Ass.

I read it less as obliviousness and more as internal language leaking into marketing. What’s “Liquid Glass” to Apple reads like an aesthetic system though but to outsiders it sounds like jargon inflation. I feel the gap between internal coherence and external clarity shows up in these releases a lot.

#34And here's the ruining of Pixelmator Pro everyone was waiting for. I paid one time 20 euros for it (discounted). And I would gladly pay again even full price for a new major version. I don't want yet another subscription. I see that they can still be bought (for now) but I wonder how long that will last.
One-time purchase versions are still available. For Pixelmator Pro it's $49.99 on the App Store

#35When was the last time Apple made some significant update to its professional desktop apps?
Forget that. TikTokers are the revenue stream now.

#36God fucking damn not you too, Apple. Adobe isn't a role model to emulate. I hate Adobe's practices. The whole world hates Adobe's practices. I want to pay for a thing with my money and then use it without worrying about ongoing costs, the UI changing, features breaking, or shit being shoved down my throat because some seedy PM wants a raise. EDIT: I know you can still buy the software... but for how long?
You can. They are offering both options.

RTFA, you can still buy them for a one-time purchase on the App Store

#38> Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Motion, Compressor, and MainStage — plus new AI features and premium content in Keynote, Pages, and Numbers — come together in a single subscription So Apple is copying Adobe's business model?
FTA: “Alternatively, users can also choose to purchase the Mac versions of Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Logic Pro, Motion, Compressor, and MainStage individually as a one-time purchase on the Mac App Store.”
Re: Apple Creator Studio
#39Pages, Numbers and Keynote are the first apps I bin whenever I'm setting up a new Mac. Would people actually pay money for them?
I'd forgotten Pages and Numbers existed, but Keynote is worth paying for if it means that I don't have to use PowerPoint.
