I don't hate Autodesk.
The more I'm around conglomerations of companies that own it all, the more I believe there should be laws against such practices. For example, let's say Autodesk bought C4D, Modo and (I almost included XSI) Silo. Tell me how much would all of those products cost now and would their quality suffer? My answer would be that the prices would be more expensive and that the quality would suffer. It's the name of the game on this planet - being gluttonous causes heart disease.
