Probably AD are smiling that we are doing as expected. Either way however its has been managed incredibly poorly. Its particularly telling that there has not been any word from AD to wait and see. The only activity on the subject from AD has been a Maya person (Brent ) very kindly offering to help folks migrate to Maya. Not particularly reassuring.
Yes this happens every year, however if you look at the Max community when folks started out bemoaning their lack of development and there was a build up of momentum, the AD management sent a very clear signal for them not to worry. Where as on the Softimage side we have had sweet blow all. For people paying the same money the imbalance is very large. That is why people are very upset.
