And I used "thirds" as a term incorrectly. It was lost in translation. Sorry about that. sven From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sven Constable Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2013 10:33 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: Autodesk´s Sales model uhm, isn't he idea behind this model to cut any development costs by three thirds in particular and sell all three as one package for a higher price? And make it sound a good deal because costumers will get three tools instead of one even they don't need one or two of them? Maybe I do not comprehend here.

I am glad I did, I can now test plugins and shaders on the three platforms and do other things as well. And enough money left for some nice plugins or apps too. AD may have a smart thing going here, let's see what the future bring.
