Affinity 现已免费——有什么猫腻?
1 分•作者: appstorelottery•3 个月前
几年前,我离开了 Adobe,因为我开始感觉自己像一只被订阅模式慢慢煮熟的青蛙。我从 1998 年就开始使用 Adobe 套件,要离开我了如指掌的工具,这让我很痛苦。最终,我选择了 Affinity 套件,从 2015 年左右开始,它就足够好用了。<p>我对 v2.0 的付费升级感到犹豫,当他们被收购时,我叹了口气。但几天前,我发现 Affinity 现在免费了,而且显然已经整合到一个工具中。我刚刚试用了一下,我必须说它给我留下了深刻的印象(在我的老款 MacBook Air M1 上)。<p>我足够老,还记得那句老话,“如果你不付钱,你就是产品……” 那么我错过了什么?这是一个被免费赠送的优秀工具…… 他们的策略是什么?陷阱在哪里?

Years ago, I moved away from Adobe because I started to feel like the a boiling frog with the subscription model. I’d used the Adobe Suite since 1998 and it was painful to leave tools I knew inside out. I eventually settled on the Affinity suite, and since around 2015 it’s been more than good enough.<p>I balked at the paid upgrade to v2.0 and <i>sighed</i> when they were acquired. But a few days ago, I discovered that Affinity is now free and has apparently been rolled into a single tool. I’ve just tried it, and I have to say it’s impressive (on my aging MacBook Air M1).<p>I’m old enough to remember the saying, “If you’re not paying, you’re the product…” so what am I missing here? This is an excellent tool being given away... what’s the strategy? Where’s the catch?
