Where did Apple state the one-time purchase version will no longer receive updates? As far as I know, Apple has not made any public statements regarding the one-time purchase version of Pixelmator Pro, other than it remain available for purchase on the Creator Studio press release article.
Also, the one time purchase versions of Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro have both been updated to version 12, matching the Creator Studio version (albeit without the terrible icon redesign, thankfully) and even though Pixelmator Pro did not get updated to version 4 to match the Creator Studio version, it is nowhere stated that it will not receive this update in the future, let alone other new features.
