#2This seems … way better than what I expected following the acquisition? What am I missing?
And I assume this is a supplement to (and not a replacement of) the existing Affinity applications?

#4Seems much better than was feared, though I haven't yet downloaded and tried the new version and there's still plenty of room for things to decay in the future.
It requiring an account (and thus, internet connectivity) to use is offputting, though. That is a prime enabler of enshittification, since it allows Canva to force updates that users may not necessarily desire. Hopefully it's easy to reverse engineer so old versions can be preserved and remain functional.

OH. I was very confused. Ya that is maybe a lawsuit.

#6I'm confused...this is not the same as Affinity Studio from Serif? Or it is?
Their website shows something new: https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/

This is that. Canva acquired Affinity a while back.

But Canva has bought Serif and their products some time ago. I though this was the result of the acquisition?

#9If I have to "sign up" then I don't really consider it free. Maybe still a good deal for some who need it, but I won't casually try this out like I would if I could just do it anonymously.

I was assuming they'd bought it from Serif. This is madness.
