Creatives fear the worst as Affinity's website is paused

Affinity website.

Creative software company Affinity's website has been temporarily paused, along with the ability to purchase the software and post on its official forums – leading to intense speculation from designers online.

Affinity was purchased by Canva (an online creative publishing tool) in May 2024, and so far there haven't been any major changes to the software's model. Up until this week, you could still buy a one-off subscription, and the tools remain as powerful as ever. Does this move mean that the acquisition has led to something different altogether for one of our top graphic design software picks?
