Maxon (you know them for #Cinema4D) purchased Pixologic (#Zbrush creators). As it was with Adobe and Substance, people are mostly worried about permanent licenses vs subscriptions.

But, as you know, Substance apps can still be purchased on Steam, if you need a perpetual license. Will see, how it goes with this acquisition!
