Leoung, I tend to,disagree that this is about greed. Softimage is less than a drop in the bucket of Autodesk's portfolio. Based on how it's played out, it's seems to be a situation where Autodesk believes it knows what's "best" for us and they're just forcing us to do it.
Autodesk is our mommies and daddies and we are nothing more than helpless children who need them to determine what software we should use. We weren't intelligent or mature enough to move to Maya once they bought Softimage, so they've made the decision for us all. We should sit down, shut up and be good little children. Maya is the best choice. They're betting the future of the M&E Group on it. -Paul — Sent from Mailbox for iPad On Sun, Mar 16, 2014 at 4:35 PM, Leoung O'Young <[email protected]> wrote: > The more I think about this, the more angry I get, so much of society is > driven by greed and money. > It is not just AD, it is much of the corporate world.
