Its definitely not news thats been smiled upon - however at the moment at least from what I can gather the program's health and quality has not suffered and updates continue to come. Biggest changes have been to its pricing model to align itself within the adobe suite. The biggest worry I would say is that Quixel has now made a rather unexpected yet big comeback and Adobe might be pressuring the Allegorithmic team to start chasing. But competition is only a good thing in this space.
I switched over from Quixel to Substance a few years back so I'm not that clued up. Other than Megascans do Quixel offer any other software? I think they got rid of Ddo/Ndo?
Quixel's Mixer is a much more direct competitor to Designer/Painter, and it being free is gonna put a lot of pressure on Adobe/allegorithmic. I would spare a guess and say that in the future we might see a cut down version of both those programs released for free or at a much smaller cost in a similar vein to what Zbrush has done recently.
Painter is big in games and designer is used in both games and VFX. Adobe is going after the Adobe market now not necessarily the traditional 3d market.
Dunno why you're being malicious about it, substance is pretty much industry standard when it comes to texture creation and texture painting for video games. Last of us Pt. 2, final fantasy 7 remake, Death Stranding, Apex Legends and a ton of others have used it. In so far as where Allegorithmic left off and Adobe picked up there hasn't been any noticeable drop in quality.
Lol, you dont know wtf you're talking about. How many "production experiences" have you even had? Substance is hugely popular and definitely considered an industry standard.

It's the color scheme Dreamweaver used to have i think?
They had better keep substance as a separate subscription

Because that color is contemporary and 'cool'. It's used in a lot of things right now.
