TBH, Affinity is slowly adapting Adobe's practices. They have released second generation of every their app and these apps don't have any significant changes. They just wanted to get some money from their users second time.
One aspect gives a red flag though: they implemented internet activation in v2 as opposed to a prior simple licensing model based on license keys. So maybe one day they will start to force "cloud" junk upon the throats of their customers, and at that point I will probably just leave.
