Steam Version Updates

Hi there,

Currently I am using a student version of Substance but in a year I will graduate and therefore will have to pay for the program. Alas, it is way too expensive for me at this point and I would want to get the Steam version. But as I've read everywhere, you only have the 2022 versions and future updates will have the be purchased from... somewhere?

1) Is it a good call to get the Steam version?
2) Where would you get the updates from and install it on steam?

I'd love to hear what you all think! 😄
