…and we all are worried and upset. Just look at that and tell me it doesn’t look scary. Maya, any former *discreet products such as flame, smoke, inferno, combustion, further 3dsmax and so on all come from Autodesk who will become the Adobe of post production. So you either buy from Autodesk or you switch to charted accountancy.

I guess they will become what Electronic Arts is in games: Every year a new update of the same old shit with not more than one new feature but for the same price as the previous version. Not to mention cash-cowing with add-ons. So watch out for Avid 2009, 3dsmax 2010, Combustion: Tournament and the Maya Add-On Maya: Masters of Mayhem.
