Yes I do, but unfortunately that is the way it has to be if we want to offer a 
free transition

@Maurice: Yeah but you have to agree that it sounds insane for me to give up my 
3ds Max, Mudbox, Motionbuilder license, and then a buy a new one for full 
retail price, just to be able to open old Softimage scenes in the future.

Hi Jens,
Yes, if you want to keep using Softimage after two years that is the case. This 
really is a transition offer and our ability to offer free software was 
conditional on customers fully transitioning either 3ds Max and Maya. I will 
pass on the feedback but these conditions were imposed by the revenue 
accounting guidelines we follow.

@Maurice: Right now I'm on a 3ds Max Entertainemnt Creation Suite Premium 
license, wich as I understand it, will be upgraded to a Ultimate Suite.
Am I supposed to not renew my subscription if I want to keep using Softimage, 
and loose all Autodesk software, and then buy a new fucking Suite Ultimate to 
get Max, Maya, Mudbox, Motionbuilder again?
I just can't believe I even have to ask the question, it's just so stupid.

like we could trust our own various crooked governments to sort this particular 
piece of greed&  bullshit out. HAHAHA..


a small example. are Strands going to be ready in Maya by 2016? or is Max that 
gets this small nugget of Softimage legacy uniqueness. An ICE plugin perhaps?

is there a list made where all the non easily transferable useful bits  (and 
made a living off) are to be found or eventually end up in 2016?  because they 
sure as hell do not exist right now in any other software that autodesk 
currently offers.

I doubt you'd be able to do anything class action (though I'm not a lawyer, so 
what do I know).  But I do think if enough people contacted their government 
representative about Autodesk's anti-competitive movement / monopolistic 
behavior, you'd see something happen.

Autodesk is what Microsoft used to be.  Perhaps it's time for a little 
government oversight / investigation?
