Same company acquired two very similar apps.
One required a $14/year subscription, the other $90/year
So they “carefully considered this decision” by delisting the cheaper one for the more expensive one. Boom, 500% cost increase
Don’t want to pay? Well, your files are hostage. Stop paying and lose your data.
Ps: remember the lie “subscription for software assures constant updates”?
The announcement serves as the final nail in the coffin for one of the iPad’s oldest and most popular sculpting apps, which hasn’t received any major updates since 2023.
So, why are you using a subscription at all, and not a free and open source app?
You know what Blender is? It’s the industry standard. Why is it the industry standard? Because it’s free, open-source GPL, it can never be taken away from you, it can never be “acquired”, everybody’s using it, and everybody is contributing towards improving it. Nobody is bitching about how Blender is extracting millions of dollars from its users and reducing its feature set at the same time. (*cough cough* Photoshop *cough*)
Free and open source software. Every. Single. Fucking. Time. Fuck subscriptions.
Blender is great, but it’s definitely not industry standard.
Can you use blender on an iPad?
