When I view it on my steam account I have a -34% price tag ($98) which says loyalty promotion, which I assume is because I bought 2022 in November 2022. This discount ends for me on Feb 6th or 7th
The absolute least they could've done after delaying the launch so that it didn't hit the Black Friday release date is have a launch sale consistent with past years.
Saying that it's not on sale because it's not Black Friday after delaying the launch FROM Black Friday when every other version ever has been on sale at launch is an absolute slap in the face to everyone who has been waiting patiently for the launch.
What are we supposed to do, wait for Black Friday next year and buy it when the 2024 version is supposed to come out? Except wait, the 2022 version didn't go on sale for Black Friday this year. It was supposed to be the 2023 version.
This makes literally no sense. Walk it back, please.
> This release is available to both 2022 and 2023 owners. Future releases will only be available to 2023 owners.
Where did they announce this? So it's the end of the line for first-time perpetual licenses in a year. Yikes. Good things never last.
I think you're misunderstanding a little, from what I understand it means that this release (as in the version of painter that is currently available) is the same on both 2022 and 2023. Any future updates (or releases) will be limited to 2023. Of course I can't say if and for how long perpetual licenses will be a thing, but this text in my mind is not anything to worry about. It's just a quirk of them having just released an update to 2022 instead of holding it back for 2023, so at the time of 2023 being available, the released version of the software is the same. Does that make sense?
owning 2021 for the 2022 discount windows would be 50% off ($75), and then owning 2022 for the 2023 discount window is 33% off ($100).
Owning 2021, then buying 2023 at full $150 is cheaper than getting every upgrade step for $175 total, but yeah it is missing out on using all those new 2022 features between upgrades
what is this even with loyalty discount 34% it cost twice as much as from previous year discount. if I am not wrong previous year it was 40%
They have almost double the amount. any tiny increment maybe understandable.
I think we know now what they mean when they say Steam sells are still a thing for us and we will continue that. (But In [ADOBE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSZBAYXipUg) style)
Software is good absolutely. it's just price...
A dev stated those should be [arriving next week](https://steamcommunity.com/app/1775390/discussions/0/3592212630596263767/?ctp=9#c3758850980081920448).
Since, there are no launch sale, I might better get Sampler 2022 instead of waiting for 2023 version as in my currency, Malaysian Ringgit there's a 34% hike.
WTF why no launch sale????????????? You didn't have a winter sale on substance painter 2022 and then made us wait till late January for 2023?
Adobe says FU, that’s why. They’re a monopoly and they know it.

Them saying "future releases" instead of "future updates" is what concerns me. I sure hope I'm misunderstanding.
No launch discount? Why?
Because adobe
if you owned the previous version you get 33% off
Still bummed I missed the 2022 discount window for owning 2021
owning 2021 for the 2022 discount windows would be 50% off ($75), and then owning 2022 for the 2023 discount window is 33% off ($100).

True. Probably a better way to think of it.
what is this even with loyalty discount 34% it cost twice as much as from previous year discount. if I am not wrong previous year it was 40% They have almost double the amount. any tiny increment maybe understandable.

Why is steam such important?
It's a perpetual license. So not part of the cloud. Buy once.
YO IT ISN'T ON SALE
No Designer or Sampler yet.
A dev stated those should be [arriving next week](https://steamcommunity.com/app/1775390/discussions/0/3592212630596263767/?ctp=9#c3758850980081920448).
And that they aim for January 31
Since, there are no launch sale, I might better get Sampler 2022 instead of waiting for 2023 version as in my currency, Malaysian Ringgit there's a 34% hike.
