I have a lot of seething anger for Autodesk. They have managed to achieve mindshare lockin for so many people when doing certain tasks (primarily AutoCAD variations), but their pricing is horrible on budgets. $210 monthly cost for a single Autocad license?!
Thankfully, avoidance of their ecosystem has pushed me further into Blender which I am loving more and more, but on the business side I still quietly mumble curses at them.
- krschultz 11y ago$210 a month is low in that industry. Seriously. Solidworks, CATIA, and NX are all significantly more expensive.
- fixermark 11y agoWhich is, perhaps, arca's point---the whole industry might be over-priced for the cost to provide the software. It's scary to think how much ground people could cover in 3D design if the pricepoint for getting in wasn't prohibitive. Blender offers a counterweight against the price running too high.
