They are called "Screws" as far as I know ;-) Applied to the thumbs or other sensitive body extensions they can be very effective. Especially in an endless spiraling economic crisis they are needed to extract shareholder value from customers who might have become a bit reluctant to let go of possessions, even if it's for the greater good. It's easily fixed with the: S.C.R.E.W.E.D. 2013 Subscription Benefit Pack Extender Set. Once applied, the needed flow of fresh blood, ahem, cash, is guaranteed.

The price increase for commercial US and Canada licenses will be something on the order of 5%, I believe. I don't have the actual prices atm. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Matt Lind Sent: June-11-12 7:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: price increases?

I initially got softimage (decided to use it) because it was selling for 400 bucks or something. Seemed like a good way to get into the industry, small. what is happening and has been happening with this is just $%#@ed up. -eric On Tue, 2012-06-12 at 00:00 +0200, Thomas Helzle wrote: yeah, got some funny emails as well. It seems that in the future you can update up to 6 or 7 versions back, but have to pay 70% of the full original price (which funny enough was increased quite considerably for XSI not that long ago). I'm sure an Autodesk representative would be able to explain why this is a fantastic thing to happen. I'd call it your basic miss-use of a monopoly.
