I tend to agree with this. If profit was the primary motive, the heads
at AD didn't do a very good job of it by this move.
They should have put their resources into a new app that takes the best
ip from all 3. Instead they lead users by the nose. The biggest asset a
business has is it's credibility. Other dcc users are watching this go
down. Now watch what happens!

If this was all economics (which I *_VERY _*highly doubt), I wonder
what the Autodesk shareholders would think about
how just chasing numbers affects customer sentiment, loyalty and word

Does anyone at Autodesk think the shareholders will be happy about
what has come from this?
And by the way, if they are happy, they deserve the exodus that may be
coming.
The exodus of customers, and in turn, the exodus of value in their
precious stock.
But again, I very, seriously, massively doubt this was _just _an
economic decision.
If it was, then the people needing to be fired are the ones who
purchased Softimage in the first place.
You know, the ones who thought that they could have 3 nearly identical
product offerings for a very small market of customers,
and not have to kill one (or two) of the products.
That was either incredibly stupid, or just a great cover for whatever
the real reason is they bought and killed Softimage is.
