If there is more profit to be made from Softimage from hiding it as a general, competing against Max / Maya application and selling it as a particle plugin why wouldnt they do it? this is what they have done since the Suites brainiac idea, there is not a shred of evidence anywhere that they tried to sell Softimage any other way. The same guys who came up with that pie chart used similar bullshit logic to rationalise the position of where Softimage should sit in the market.
And over the last 4 years Ive come to realise there is f*ck all we can do about it apart from move on, continue the bitter taste with choices of future applications that will no longer be Autodesk controlled. next software I try to learn/master is going to be either open source like Guy says or will have some kind of contract or Acknowledgement that it will *never* sell out to the likes of AD. Software Tools for the users not for shareholder profits, this is the only light at the end of this tunnel - if such a thing can exist, am sure Autodesk representatives will say otherwise.
