And all the while the evidence was right under our noses....... 

I'm sorry but this had nothing to do with the announcement from yesterday. You are trying to push for a narrative that doesn't exist here.
At that time it was just a partnership like we did many times before. We also integrated a Snapchat/Lens-studio shader and template for example. We do many integrations and exporters for other application inside Substance Painter. Our next version will also have a new one.
Methinks the humour of the previous post has evaded you.
No need to get defensive. Save your energy for when you have to explain to us all why substance has become subscription-only.
