The blogger has a really distorted perspective on market, apps and qualities. There's a distinct fanboi smell to the article.
I don't think MAX will be terminated in the next couple years, but if I had to bet money, I'd gladly put it on it being massively requalified for viz, and maybe, just maybe, to see an LT version for the indie gaming platform if Maya won't successfully dig that inlet. When you read stuff like "This definitely raised a few eyebrows because 3ds Max has typically been known as the go-to app for the game industry" You know the guy, like most of DT has been for its entire existence, lives in a reality predating the actual calendar by more than a few years. I do have money with a friend on Mudbox and MoBu not seeing more than another Christmas or two tops though :)
