Embrace extend.. no thank you
- echelon 5y agoNot at all. This is "Commoditize your Complement". Adobe is doing this to weaken one of its greatest competitors, Autodesk. Additionally, Adobe's software works well with Blender as part of a comprehensive design suite. They'll likely increase the number of subscribers in the short term by doing this. The danger to Adobe would be if Gimp and Inkscape got anywhere near as high quality as Blender. As pointed out by a few comments on one of my threads [1], Amazon is doing the same thing to Unity and Epic Games' Unreal Engine with their open sourced Lumberyard engine, O3DE. Amazon is going to make money from Prime Games and Twitch. If their move succeeds, an engine is just a commodity.
