You have to see it as a process though. If you have invested 8 + years in
people salaries setting up a pipeline to your specific needs its very difficult
to change. There sheer amount of company IP and development you loose will
probably cost a few people their jobs. Time = Money and there are a lot of
firms that simply cannot afford to switch. Even if in the longer term it will
be better, cheaper , faster etc.

So even large seats with TD's will start paying subscription AND paying ton of
their own TDs to do development.
Who is crazy here then?
They can get Blender or even more realistically Fabric and develop their own
tools then without spending and depending on AD at all....

I agree. But we are not the target market. That is companies with large numbers
of seats with TDs who can scripts and tweak it what they need. The solo person
or small studio has never been their concern.

Oh my god, parents again? Patents are worth nothing if you are not in the
business of licensing patents, which Autodesk isn't in. Where these millions
dollar
patents exactly, and how is that worth 35 miliions? Hiring dozens of people in
one
shot plus a working business is worth millions, not some useless region dumb ass
patent they never used. Softimage`s I.P. was worth exactly zero.

All until Autodesk came.
Here is what happened in 2008:
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=12030177&linkID=14271589
Then when Ronald Beirouti left (who created ICE), it was definitely the end of
ICE (and Softimage).
(https://groups.google.com/d/msg/xsi_list/ElbS6ZbjKEk/vMyh8CGhCpQJ)
Peoples still think Autodesk acquired Softimage from Avid for XSI or for the
developers team. It was all for the patents. The rest is "accessory".
How many patents Solid Angle had ?
