I guess you mean the MS Store....
That would make it almost full circle ;-)

It was interesting to hear from my reseller lately that the prices of
subscription are basically back to where they were before the price
increase in germany.
The 100.- Euro late-re-subscription-fee seems to be off at the moment
as well.
Next thing we know will be Softimage in the Apple App Store for
400$... ;-)
Cheers,
Tom

It's sad to hear about the layoffs. I wonder how much the price
increases had contributed to the reduction in sales.
Right, 'good luck with that autodesk' is my off the cuff response
as far as moving all products to cloud. I think it's great that
autodesk is moving with the tech and if a cloud solution is a
faster , less buggy more affordable offering I'll be one of the
first to sign up. I'd have a serious issue with having studio ip
housed on their servers though.

The restructuring is focused primarily of the company’s shift to
cloud and mobile computing.“This action allows us to continue to
invest in recruiting and hiring people who can bring Autodesk the
skills and experience that are critical for achieving our mid and
long-term goals, says Bass. “As part of the ongoing platform
shift, it’s clear to us that design and engineering software will
move to cloud and mobile platforms. Cloud and mobile has been a
major investment area for Autodesk over the past couple of years
and this restructuring will accelerate our progress as we intend
to further invest in employees with expertise and skill sets
essential to this transition./
Stephen on cgtalk brought up an interesting quote from awhile back.
/According to a recent interview with Autodesk's CEO Carl Bass,
in a few years the company's software would be running online
("cloud-based" only). Quoting from the interview (2m26sec): "I'd
say 2 to 3 years from now every one of our products will be used
online. The only way to use them will be online."*/

I doubt there will be any official statement. Let's hope they
(who ever it will be) will find a safe harbor somewhere.
Unemployment isn't good for anyone
Media division was apparently down 10% this year, let's
"hope" it will mostly effect 3dsmax.
