If it was 3 years ago, it was before the acquisition. Which means Autodesk did something to block a competitor getting third party support from a third-party product.Originally Posted by Bullit
Seems nice, any thinking of expanding it to other applications like Softimage?
Yeah XSI is a sad story for us we started 3 years ago and had a pretty good implementation but then Autodesk stepped in and now we are at a stop.
Seeing as people can still be tried for murder 20 years after the crime. Shouldn't Autodesk answer a few "anti-trust" questions about this activity? I doubt this was the only such case of "persuasion" or is that "coercion" meted out to other third party vendors.Competition law, known in the United States as antitrust law, are laws that promote or maintain market competition by regulating anti-competitive conduct
Anyway, I wonder if the block still remains?
