If our needs were on a more simple level, then yes, that is perfectly possible and something to have confidence in owning. But in our industry the tools we use are incredibly complex and not easy to replace. That's why there are so few options. Not just the tools, but the knowledge to assimilate them into efficient workflows to be productive. It takes years to develop a competitor with enough function and maturity even to enter the ring and compete.
The only way you can buffer yourself from the problem is to either write all your code yourself, or find another career. Neither are realistic.

Is not only about one software; because maybe they'll do the same thing in the future with Max or Maya. All people around the world needs to take measures to prevent a company force them to do what they want. As customers, we decide. Don't be afraid.

Outside the list would be most beneficial. Do they have journalistic contacts, open letters etc. The deed may be done but we want to have a voice, if Maya is a choice, into what the development priorities are. And, I may be being melodramatic here, we want them to look into our eyes are they are twisting the knife.
