I have always had the impression that at Autodesk more lawyers are employed then developers. This seems to prove it. Ohh I hate lawyers! They make the world so complicated!
By the way can Autodesk be sued for damages for nonperformance? At least the big studios have a mayor financial damage by this situation (rebuilding their piplines, transitioning assets, retraining personnel). But I guess they are not eligible for transitioning if they are doing so. Stephan. > Hi Jens, > Yes, if you want to keep using Softimage after two years that is > the case.
