*_____________
Logical decision
Autodesk decision is easily explained.
Through acquisitions, the company was now the owner
of three competing software: Maya, 3ds Max and Softimage.* [by
involontary consequence?]
*The latter has become the least popular of the three.* [by involontary
consequence?]
Just Like the Jigsaw release "why kill off Softimage?"
not adressing the question that consequently begs to be asked; *Then Why
Aquire? *
which would have revealed the glaringly obvious motive.

"Softimage community is very united and very passionate and it makes a
lot of noise in it. "*
No kidding.. wonder why..
*_____________
"The damage has been done by AVID.* [Avid's fault]
* Autodesk has continued for six years,
**but has never been able to reverse the sales curve.** "*
Which would have implied an actual intent to reverse it,
and while not actively / purposefully precipitating it.
While eagerly anticipating what will supercede XSI in terms of overall
efficiency,
(we can already feel the rush to fill a void)
.. I truly wonder what that will be, we can only speculate.
In the mean time, I'm personally anxious to see what'll show up at
Softimage.tv until then . . .

anyone wonder why?
*cough*
because immediately upon acquisition half left and half were moved to
Maya / Games / or wherever but most definitely Away from Softimage.
poor, poor Adsk tried so hard. Marc petit has invested in Fabric
Engine right..? I do not understand his motivations right here with
this bullshit lets rewrite history propoganda. I remember tweeting to
him a few years ago about the sorry state of Softimage and the lack of
any effort by Adsk to help it and his reply..
"Softimage is in good hands"
