Serif has this week released the Affinity Suite 2.0 which is a major update to the original suite of Three related Graphics applications, that are available as a suite or as individual applications.
As normal with Serif they start with a healthy 40% discount (Black Friday came early) There is also now an option to purchase the complete suite against a single licence, the licences are perpetual which a lot of users prefer to the Subscription model used more and more, by Adobe and others
When I went to download the latest Affinity 3 I had to pick the "Enterprise (Intel/AMD) if I wanted the Non store version (.EXE) and the "Windows (Intel/AMD) choice downloads the Microsoft Store version (.msix).

I still think Version 2 is suffering against Version 3! I don't think Version 2 has had an update for over a year!
And, I don't want to install Version 3 on my production machine because the templates aren't compatible with each other!
