    I don’t want profitable software

    What? You want all the software companies you depend on to go bankrupt?

    I want fairly priced software

    Canva is free for basic features and reasonably priced if you want features that cost them money such as 24/7 phone support, access to their stock artwork library, storing up to a terabyte of documents on their servers, etc.

    I get the hesitation - we don’t know what they’re going to do with the affinity suite, but I wouldn’t immediately assume it will be ruined.

      Given the context I don’t think they meant profitable as “The software makes a profit” but that the acquisition would be profitable given the costs to acquire it. The acquiring company likely has no attachment to the software itself and only sees a bunch of cows (customers) for milking.
