im sure eveyone who pays through the nose for a subscription here will already have seen the news. the subscription “advantage pack”/ extension, has been released. however it is now a tiered release. for those with a max subscription, we get a grand total of 2 new caching operators for pflow. …

i agree fully… what the fuck? i mean we kind of liked max and the subscription model till now but i can´t really understand that move which surely must have pissed of many long time max (and subscription) users. it´s more about the arrogant gesture than about those additions for us though, but never…

I worked up some budgeting data last week, and we pay $24,000.00 a year to Autodesk, for subscriptions.
