i do look at the glass is half full, so i hope that only good will come from this.
i can only hope and imagine Autodesk has been planning this for a while so everything should be planned to the smallest detail. dont know if they have shipped any of there other software developement out to the east. so maybe this is a test and they have decided to try this with a recent acquisition. some one said in the studio that it may have been moved east bound because there is a large market share for soft. but also i see a lot of bigger companies, from all different industries having a stab at moving operations to countries that have cheaper labour. and this may be another factor in the decision by Autodesk. but then again i dont know what the rate of pay is in Singapore. so apologies if this comment means nothing. Its a shame the seasoned soft developers are moving on, (thanks for all the hard work and keeping in touch with the community) but nothing can be done about this and you just have to embrace change. and hopefully its for the best. I do hope the new team keeps in touch with the community like the old, and you guys definately have some big boots to fill. Work hard guys! I just hope Autodesk is doing this for the right reasons...and not greed. my two cent.
