Tidal atm and tbh I'm happy enough with it to stick with them for a while longer, providing there are no silly price rises.

Still slowly making my way through The Year of the Locust. Not quite as enthralling as I Am Pilgrim however. I want to try and get through it in the next week so I can get started on The Grace of Kings.

Just got this email. It's better news at least but I'm not totally convinced by it just yet.

That's certainly a more hopeful response. Fingers crossed they keep to their word with V3 too.

I've sent them an email, not too hopeful I'll get any information out of them about their pricing model going forward though.

Edit: They replied but they just gave a copy and pasted statement from the press release that Designer V2 users will own in perpetuity, nothing regarding future plans.

Just bought Designer a week ago. Wouldn't have touched it had it been a subscription. I love it so far but it will be my last purchase of any Affinity software if they move to a subscription.

I always get the feeling Leclerc is moments away from disaster, whereas I never really feel that with Sainz, even though he made his fair share of mistakes in the past. If I was Ferrari I'd rather have consistency for when they eventually make a car capable of winning a championship.

There has to be a happy medium between not isolating your kids while also protecting them from what is a highly corrupting environment. Maybe this is just hindsight, but I look back at my unfiltered internet access as a kid and am pretty pissed off that my parents didn't get more involved.

That's it, it's just the userbase size. I still unfortunately have to type 'Reddit' after any question I throw at a search engine but that is on the useless search engines and not indicative of Reddit being a great platform.

A reliable IPTV provider is your best bet. Unless you are content with watching things a few hours later, on demand and then Kodi add-ons will be an easier option.

Live sports are a bit of a pain to find a long term reliable source outside of IPTV, but something like Mad Titan or The Loop add-ons are half way decent for live stuff.

That would be a pretty long list and also highly subjective. I'm a big fan of Paradox Interactive but can see how many feel their business model of multiple paid dlc, for what are often core features, to be highly predatory. The obvious ones being EA, Ubisoft and Activision Blizzard spring to mind though.
