Yes, it also means we get all their other goodies too, but considering most substance painter users use substance painter rather than other alternatives because of the price bracket, meaning that most of them will be using cheap alternatives to most of the adobe goodies, it's not a very good deal at all. If they do the dirty on us and put it in the "all apps" and above subscriptions service we will end up paying £49.94 per month, that's £599.28 per year (it's a whole £3 cheaper if you pay for a year in one lump sum, whoopiee!), versus the yearly £59 (with the 50% loyalty discount we get) we already pay to keep our substance painter software up to date.įor those of us that only use Substance Painter and buy the updates yearly, that's a 1000% increase in our annual spending just for one piece of software. When Adobe takes over and they implement their subscription service it's going to cost a lot more. Granted, we already pay a yearly license for updates, but that's a fixed yearly amount. without paying for Adobes subscription service.

The issue will be that there will be a cut off on updates for the steam versions we have bought, and we won't get more updates etc.
