Those who purchased the monthly subscription plan will get all the updates and latest features.Īctually their current subscription plan for a single device of USD 24.99/year is still quite reasonable since it's just $2.09/month. With an active Update Pass, you can update CSP to the latest version including the planned v3.1. To update CSP v2, you have to purchase an annual Update Pass. You can continue to use CSP v1.x for as long as your computer can run the software.ĬSP v2 will still be sold as a one-time purchase perpetual license and will come with stability updates but will not have update access to v2.1.
Unfortunately for us, CSP is moving towards the subscription model for all license types.įor those still using CSP v1.x, there will still be updates until CSP v2 is released. I've got to say that USD 49.99 for Clip Studio Paint Pro is a fantastic deal for digital artists. However, considering the fact that CSP’s selling point was the lack of subscription fees, many are seeing this as a “betrayal”, naturally making memes about the whole situation.Clip Studio Paint is moving away from the business model of providing one-time purchase perpetual license. Clip Studio Art’s announcement is experiencing a “ratio”, where there the comments and quote retweets – wherein users can attach their own comments on a retweet, hence “quote” retweet – outstrip the likes.īeing a business, it’s an understandable move. In any case, this only adds one more headache to artists currently already voicing their displeasure over their work being fed into a deep-learning technology for AI-generated art. However, going by the MSF FAQ, there does not seem to be an indication of the forums’ involvement in the blockchain, at least for now. There are other concerns that Celsys, the company behind Clip Studio Paint, may be embarking on something related to NFTs via the Metaverse Standard Forums due to the association of the word “metaverse” with said NFTs.
