Autodesk - not so good as Adobe
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    In first 2018 financial quarter Autodesk gained $485,7 millions compared to $511,9 millions year ago. Net losses reduced from $167,7 towards $129,6 millions.

    Now Autodesk is doing same thing as Adobe - forcing you to pay monthly fee and reducing expenses to developers, as they no longer need to add so much software features. At the April 2017 number of forced to subscribe clients raised to 1,32 millions. Total number of subscribers if you include servicing agreements reached 3,29 millions.

    Here you can directly see on example of two big companies how regressive capitalist monopoly becomes.

    Lets hope Autodesk doesn't adopt the Adobe 'delete all your files without telling you' feature

    So, when a product reaches maturity, such as Autocad, a company should fold the product except for updates needed when a new version of the OS comes out. I don't know much about Autocad, except that everyone who needs it already has it, and there are no features that could justify a major upgrade.

    Autodesk is much more than Autocad. Flame, Smoke, Maya 3DS Max etc. These apps still need lots of development and are used in high end facilities for effects work.
