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.
