Am I to understand that AD thinks that those people who refused to be subjected to AD's unreasonable penalties for lapse in maintenance are somehow to blame for Softimage's demise?

Many are using older versions. These customers will be able to continue to do so in perpetuity. Given that they are productive using older versions of the software, this decision should not significantly impact that productivity. For customers who have built their production capacity around staying current with our releases there are several options including locking their pipelines on Softimage 2015 indefinitely or transitioning to a Maya or 3ds Max pipeline." These people are not happy they're still on older versions, it's the stagnation of development under Autodesk that's kept them there. I'm sorry, but this is a shameful misrepresentation of the facts, Maurice.

No word about how XSI is an asset in production thanks to its fast workflow, and how Autodesk intends to find a replacement. Once again, Softimage is NOT only ICE, so bifrost cannot be a replacement for Softimage.
