I sort of agree about the Max userbase, but they will lose Max market share at an ever increasing rate due to all the rumors having dramatically more credibility now. If you're a Max user, would you hedge your bets on them not killing it, or would you learn something else? And if you're a company and everyone seems to be moving away from Max, would you invest in it?
They would have to make a really grand gesture to establish faith that it's moving forward, and having watched the grand gesture for Maya, I'm not sure they're capable of it being grand enough. Also, a lot of Max's staying power has been due to FX. With an influx of Houdini talent, and lost trust form 3rd party devs as well, it'll be an uphill battle keeping their position in FX in place.
