How many devices can I install Affinity apps on?
As a private individual you can install Affinity apps on as many devices as you own which run the operating system you have purchased a license for (of course in the case of a Universal License that means you can install on any iPads, Macs or Windows PCs you own). Other people (for example, members of your household) are also allowed to use the apps on those devices. However, only you are allowed to use the apps for commercial use—if any members of your household need to make commercial use of the apps as well they will need to purchase their own license.
For commercial enterprises, education and other multi-user situations, each license can either be assigned to an individual or a device. For example, one Windows license could be used by a single employee on both their Windows desktop and laptop computer. Alternatively, that license could be assigned to a single Windows computer which is used serially by multiple employees.
For more information please see our Windows, macOS or iPad license agreements.

Also the long time users are those of us on their forums giving them free feedback, reporting bugs etc so they could get to V2. So again unless they want to shut down their forums and pay for bug fixes and groups to think of new features etc then you would expect some sort of user loyalty.
As a Day 1 buyer of the OG Photo and Publisher I think the pricing is fine. I'm not upset at all the new people can buy-in at the same price b/c a larger user base only makes Affinity a stronger competitor to Adobe. Again, if you don't see value in the suite for $99 don't buy it. That would be the smart move for you. Treat v2 like a bundle of add-Ons you don't need and pass. Your v1 works today like it worked yesterday.
Let's be honest these are good software but they have way more often crashes with all 3 of them compared to adobe's software. And yet they just left us with the buggy software and start calling updates v2!
I wish they would have at least shown the curtesy to option to upgrade at a reduced price to their existing users and allow them to have less buggy software at a reduced price.
I am the long-time user and I don't expect nor need any discounts with their dirt-cheap prices. In fact, I am very impressed that they are able to survive with their business model and applaud them for that.

The last perpetual license for Photoshop (CS6) was $699 in 2012, which is $907 adjusted for inflation.
I'm not an expert on video, but I know on the image manipulation side Affinity is still very competitively priced.

For photo and image manipulation there are a lot of options out there paid or not.
CyberLink PhotoDirector
Luminar - super popular and great at adding native support for cameras
inPixio Photo Studio
Pixlr X / Pixlr E
Corel PaintShop Pro
Adobe Photoshop Elements
DxO Photolab
Fotor
Gimp - Free
Paint.net - Free
Even Canva online for some simpler edits
(Start Edit) Forgot to put in
Topaz Studio
On1 Photo Raw
as other alternatives that are popular.

So lots of options most of these I believe are under $100 or free. Some are more expensive.
For some of the other stuff you have stuff like Corel Painter and Corel Draw. Lots of alternatives out there for people that look. Affinity got a lot of their initial buzz because of being on MAC OS and being a good alternative to Photoshop. But a lot of other companies have brought upgrades or even AI into the software for all sorts of stuff. There is no longer a shortage of alternatives to Adobe products in general for photo, graphics, or video editing. Even with Video one of the best current options for video editing is now free through Black Magic Design that being DaVinci Resolve.
If you don't like that price, or believe that Serif is losing touch or alienating their userbase, or just yourself, you clearly know many alternatives that can be had at $0
If they've determined this to be the profit model that keeps their business alive, I would rather work with that and depend on them hopefully years into the future. If I enjoy their software but demand they support it on my terms, and they do so, they may wind up out of business under my leadership

That is a matter of opinion. Receiving $70 off retail is a pretty great offer. It's the comparison that kills what could have been your joy.
Again if the existing user base has no value then you and Affinity would be fine with Affinity , shutting down the user tutorials on the forums, along with bug reporting, feature suggestions, and user resources. They and you then would be ok with them instead paying consultants for that instead. As well as for Beta testing. Outsource if existing users dont contribute.
If you aren't fine with that then you do believe that the user base has also provided a service back. Which means they shouldn't be treated the same as new users. Honestly don't care how they would of gone about it. Plugins for free, other addons, a different discount. But you can't treat new and existing users the same. Why? Because you make the people that have used the software, contributed to help bug fix, create tutorials etc as the same as people that just bought it for the first time. If you don't understand that, well that is a problem you need to figure out with your therapist.
The sale should last untill 14th December Post it on Twitter @affinitybyserif
(We're pleased to let you know we have decided to run the 40% off launch offer until 14th December to give those who have taken a 30-day trial time to use it before the offer expires. 🙂 #affinityv2

You expect to get updates for life for a program you paid $25 bucks. Get real.
All I said is that Affinity should have found a way to prioritize the user base that purchased the software in a way that is better than the general public. Considering the first version is also being left to drive in its current state which is buggy and there wasn't enough updates to push a major revision makes it worse. Even mainstream websites pointed to that as valid points.

$99 for all of this seems pretty good to me rn. I'll have it for the next 3-4 years on 2 of my machines and it looks like a pleasing option that will do what I need.
I have Luminar AI and that company went to annual subscriptions with NEO So.. this seems like the much lesser of evils.

So they are weighing everything on new or soon to be new customers and not doing anything for anyone that purchased the apps previously, or like myself who purchased all three apps on Windows.
Not saying it would have had to be a discount, could have been a promo with an extra bundle of items or whatever. When the only ones not getting anything extra are the long time customers, well that is a lack of customer loyalty and the type of attitude that companies like Adobe pull all the time.
