As a user and 3rd party developer I think it's well deserved. Even if AD wasn't doing a pretty poor job at marketing (though the recent posts were very nice to see as an effort being put forward), they aren't doing much to inspire the 3rd party devs to continue to develop it. Even Luc-Eric is doing a fair good job on si-community to scare away any potential / 3rd party Softimage devs saying that he believes they will dry up within a few years. Yes it's his opinion but why wouldn't it carry some weight from his history / position.
We need a place to complain. An AD hosted mailing list is certainly a good place to do so since they don't really have another decent place to do so. I'm trying to stay positive but it's hard to with the minimal communication we're getting. On September-30-13 4:38:33 PM, Gregory Ducatel wrote: > It is an easy and understandable act/action...
