Autodesk turns passionate loyal customers into passionate competitors.
I doubt that they know that among the Softimage user base is a
tremendous amount of tool developers who merely chose to do something
else so far.
And i'm sure Autodesk won't see or understand any connection between
their actions now and the wave that will hit them in the future.
These are exiting times, indeed.

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.
