The linked post is a guy who has been using Autodesk for 30+ years. If a guy who has benefitted from an application for 30+ years shouldn't be paying, who should?
They have a totally free 1 year license, so if you are learning, that'll get you much of the way through school.
EDIT: I removed the suggestion that he had never paid for it.
- m00x 6y agoThe issue isn't paying, it's how much you have to pay to get in. $10-15/m for a hobby makes sense, $80/m doesn't. If someone came out with a hobbyist license that was cheap to get with some limitations (no commercial, no cloud rendering), it would absolutely be fair. You're not making money out of your hobby, you're paying out of pocket to learn a skill that you enjoy.
