I don't think this is a question of dev team. The same is true for Maya , not to the same extent but still the same. The only real innovation has been wiewport 2.0, which granted is great but Im a motion graphics guy, while game devs might find it useful my use for it is fairly limited. I'm not saying there isn't good features in the updates, but they're hardly worth The cost of the subscription we have now.
