Evil Photo&Graphic Designer Update popup!

For about a month, my Xara Photo & Graphic Designer -- latest version. on a Windows Surface Pro -- has put up these annoying 'wanna update?' messages when I close down the program.
Are times that bad over at Magix? Silly secret little hacks just to make a few bucks. And to make it worse, when I look at the Magix website, there's nothing about Xara, or Talk Graphics. Or maybe there is, obscured by meaningless uninformative screens about their goofy product range.
Sad. Like others here, I've used Xara for a long time. About 20 years, switching from Corel Draw back around 2000. Xara, always a good program that really helped me make an excellent living. Sad to see it subsumed by a bunch of marketing hacks who, simply enough, just don't know how to sell product.

I don't think this is unique to Xara but I take your point, it is annoying.

Perhaps Tombstone, Arizona Territory would be a little sunnier if Windows Firewall was used on your machine to stop it calling home...

Nothing on the Magix site about Xara? All Xara products are there, including Functions, New Features, Specifications, and … with Product Comparison, Update History, Show Me How Tutorials, and Offers.

Here are a couple of links:
