The made a pledge at the time:

> 1. We are committed to fair, transparent and affordable pricing, including the perpetual licenses that have made Affinity special.

> 2. We will double down on expanding Affinity’s products through continued investment in Affinity as a standalone product suite.

> 3. We will provide Affinity free for schools and nonprofits.

> 4. We are committed to listening and being led by the design community at every step in this journey.

If we should trust that or not is another matter. I’m inclined not to.
