I follow their updates semi-regularly so I'm not sure if they made a more recent one that was as detailed. I found a tad depressing to see how much Steam purchases are making compared to donations.
Right, I remember the issue... which I think got you to do the proper setup of the Krita foundation to avoid any similar issue (which may have been quite some work and accountant fees).
Thank you for your work, by the way. Krita is one of the things that make me the happiest, with Linux itself. It's such a well-designed software, and it's such a pleasure to paint with it.

Why's this depressing? They 'charge' a reasonable price on Steam for those who want to either support the project or get automatic updates or both, and the developers for this open source project get funded without having to actually paywall the product. Seems pretty good all around to me!

They also had an interesting post about the fact that on the Windows store they cannot mention that you can download it for free as it is against Microsoft TOS: https://krita.org/en/item/krita-in-the-windows-store-an-upda...
They also mention that it's a compromise, it's adding a new income stream but participating in the economy of non-free software.
It's hard to make money with free software, even if your product is industry-level in some aspects.
