I agree Sandy. I'd love to know who those 'suits' were and I don't agree with them, but then different industries operate in different ways.

I am going to suggest to the users on this mailing list that this is now the time to collectively voice our complete dissaproval of the way Autodesk handle Softimage and in fact the way they handle any of their software - yes I do know about the shit that the Maya users go through - note my mention above of the suits and their idiotic ideas! Where and how can we complain before it gets to the point we we start looking at something like Houdini?

No one in particular seems to have been singled out. For the record, I didn't like this news any more than anyone else.

I need a phone number or email address to complain to, this is a truly preposterous decision.
