Same futureless and rip off business model. Good buy Autodesk! Welcome fair players like ChaosGroup Vray + Modo, Blender, Cinema 4D,... I am wondering which freelancers or mid size companies can afford 10 or more subscriptions like AD, Adobe, Corona or Arnold, Forest Pack, etc. and earn enough money to pay that monthly. Compared to greedy BigMac Autodesk with Forest Pack you are able to work with your last paid version and when you stop your subscription you can continue whenever you want. Other companies tries to enslave you and push out maximum money. I recommend anyone to think about that and don't support such shady business offers. At the end it's you who build the future of software licensing. I would appreciate to see a discussion here at evermotion because your business needs a financially solid user base as well to sell your items. Regards Thomas P.S. Wait some years and Autodesk will acquire solid angle remove the full functionality features from 3dsMax and sell the full version separately...as a subscription. And as well they will sell it to you as an awesome business benefit for your company...sure.
