Funnily enough, bits of Media Illusion, Matador, and Elastic Reality still live 
on inside Softimage of all places. Bits of DS too, like that gray bar that

Avid has quite history of shelving products, that they buy.
One only has to go to Wikipedia to see the long list of discontinued purchases:

I have been a victim of this odd business model with Matador(Media Illusion) 
and Elastic Reality.
It just makes me think twice when faced with a possible
Avid purchase. Well, I lie... I don't think I would ever think
of a future Avid purchase.
