Now 'do whales fart?' is in my Google search history. In any case i think that for the owners of a perpetual license of Painter or Designer, even if you don't update them for 4-5 years you will still be Javor This is true not only for IT but for all the other things in general. Subscriptions are not created to benefit the clients. You must pay in any case if you want to use it.

It's not a question of "i have the perpetual, i'm not interested in the new updates so i don't pay and still use the software". Some months ago Autodesk increased the prices for the subscription of Maya LT and i think for Maya full version as well. So i was paying 75 $ for the maintenance, now i have to pay 150 $ if i accept their offer of switching to sub that means x2 what i was paying before only to use the software alone and there is no guarantee that the price will stay the same.Įx.

I also have Designer but i use it 1 time per year maybe. If you use all the Substance softwares and you were paying the maintenace every year for each one of them than yes, the difference is minimal. If you happy with what you got better to make it last. The more "progress" is made, the sooner many employed people here lose value. If we try to measure lost cost of opportunity (assuming Adobe does intentionally devour competition to stifle progress) well that is all speculation of course. Doesn't look like more than negligible effect on my wallet and it's still the best tool for me. I still have my perpetual of Painter and Designer with over 1k materials and smart materials.we will see. Nothing to say more, i saw it coming from the moment Allegorithmic sold themselves to Adobe. I also noticed that Allegorithmic site disappeared replaced by a new site called Substance3D by Adobe and their logo is nowhere to be found. You can still buy a perpetual license from Steam.for now. The subscription price has been reduced to 219 $ from 239 $ but if you have a perpetual license and you switch to the annual sub you pay 149 $ at least for now without giving up the perpetual license. Fresh news, Adobe decided to go subscription only with the Substance suite after they officially published Alchemist.īasically you can renew your perpetual maintenance plan until octoafter that sub only ( if i understood correctly ).
