Wasn't that their big pitch? You can buy perpetual licensees now, but they'll be updating versions more regularly, so you can buy subscription instead if that bothers you?
I'm just happy they still sell perpetual versions, though I'll probably only upgrade at v5 or something.';

'I'm not improving';

'They're getting desperate. They'll probably cave and add full blown AI soon';

'>>7134053
Why would they need to cave? Don't they make the bulk of their money from studios?';

Why can't you faggots do your own research? They are doing fine as long as paypigs do their job.';

'It keeps getting bloated like Photoshop
There's absolutely no reason to upgrade from version 1, just like Photoshop CS6 remains the best version.
>>7133922
exactly, all the "improvements" they make is just an excuse to higher ups to keep developers in employment';

'So where is the cracked version';

'All I want from CSP is color indexing so I can make pixel art in my favorite art software, fuck aseprite. But fuck CSP too their upgrades are fucking shit';

'I'm still using version 1.11 and it does everything I need it to';

'>>7133254
Payment model aside my issue with Celsys is that they seem to be spreading themselves too thin and focusing way too much on 3D features and shitty bloat like posemaniacs integration and "artistic" filters. They literally haven't made a single update to the brush engine since 2.0, and not shown any interest in adressing the many years of complaints of the performance issues. 3.0 is a unjustified cashgrab.
The update pass could have been OK if they actually made a lot of improvements and useful new features. Instead, we arguably got one of the worst years of updates for CSP ever.';

'>still no perpetual license for mobile
I am not paying $12 a month for EX';

'>>7133254
They literally explained this shit when they were about to launch 2.0.
Unless they changed, the idea was to make 2.0 paid, then 2.X require a subscription, after a year period, all 2.X stuff would go free, and they'd release 3.0, after which the 3.X patches become subscription again.
TLDR: pay if you want latest patches, otherwise wait a year for them to roll out to the non-sub version.';

How about a fucking Linux version';

>They're getting desperate. They'll probably cave and add full blown AI soon

lmao as if the 3D stuff wasn't cheating enough but /ic/tards already accepted it as heckin valid. It's a matter of time untiil you phonies accept the AI "assistance" too.';

'>>7133254
The only good thing is the layer comps. The rest are fluff pieces Celsys tacked in so they could justify charging full price for such a disappointing update.';

'>>7134053
>They're getting desperate
I don't use any of the new shit they add but What on earth drives you to see a software developer attempting to add value to their software in an attempt to incentivize continued payment and think "desperation"? Desperation is locking it all behind subscription models. They need a reason to not just fire all their staff, this is it.';

'>>7136596
To be fair you'd only get EX if you're doing animations.';

'>>7136908
If you can already draw, no.';

'>>7136665
They're not free. They are if you pay for 3.0.';

'>>7136259
CSP has color indexing, what are you talking about

>>7136908
Depends. I find it useful for making comics but I like SAI's brush feeling better';

'>>7136957
arent the 'indesign-esque' features also supposed to be in ex?';

'>>7137397
What I mean is limiting to 15 colors or however many specified colors';

'>>7137406
Lmao I've just realized layer comps is an EX only feature. Welp, mine's already EX so I was already using it pretty often lol.';

'>>7136726
It's called "K-R-I-T-A", yoyoyo';

'>>7136957
Yes, that's why I bought EX.';

'>>7138309
Oh like Aseprite, CSP, GraphGale and others, yeah no, sadly CELSYS aint interested on that shit.

It would be forgivable if at the very least they fix they pixel/binary lineart algorithm to be pixel perfect.';

'>>7136726
Yeah I'm getting annoyed cause 1.x works on Linux but since 2 requires an online check it doesn't work (even if you have a license).

And krita is good but I can't get over the layer decisions and the fact that every single brush seems to be hyper soft.';
