Wow, sorry to hear. This whole mess puts some of us in a jam. I have to seriously consider my options and shift gears. Most of my work is for direct clients that don't care what I use so I'm fine there....I'll just use Soft. But for the occasional times when I need to jump on something else, take existing assets, etc, my options will be limited and eventually be eliminated. So Autodesk...you've basically further reduced my client base and my ability to support myself and my family. I now have to retrain myself...undo 15 years of mastering this software and re-join the 3d workbase as a user using something else. I hope I can stay busy!
