Maybe Autodesk should sell the whole M&E division to the community before they dump any valuable asset into the ground and therefore decrease the total value of M&E. Given that M&E only contributes 7% to their profits lets me wonder why they moved into this business in the first place.
I think Autodesk would lose quite a few customers to the competition, especially smaller studios. So it would be utterly stupid to stop developing Softimage. Cheers, Stephan. am Montag, 3.
