This is why my digital art pipeline is FOSS at every turn. I dropped like $300 for Substance Designer / Painter’s indie license. I was so excited to learn it.

…and then it got “rolled into the AdObE FaMiLy” and is subscription-only (right after they promised angry users they would do no such thing and we didn’t believe it for a second) and now it’s mega bloated “iNdUsTrY StAnDaRd” lock-in-ware like the rest.

So I basically just learned my lesson about commercial software rug-pulls.
