As a colleague of mine pointed out this morning, Autodesk should have
told it's Softimage users what it needs to keep Softimage going.
Admittedly that could be a bitter pill... "We need to double the cost of
maintenance to keep softimage going!" Or "We need to double the price
of new license sales". They could make Softimage Autodesk's elite
premium offering. At least give that approach a few years and if it
doesn't make financial sense after that then fair enough, at least they
tried.
I can't help thinking that the Softimage user base would be happier with
an increase in price over a retirement of the app.

Hi Greg,
this is pretty much along the lines of what I've been thinking.
