(Update) From his Twitter account, it appears that 3DS Max Product Manager Eddie Perlberg is also leaving Autodesk.
Carl Bass, CEO and President of Autodesk, is stepping down and leaving the company.

Comment: It is clear the ship is a bit rudderless - Bass was also long time there - and at least in M&E the personnel turnover is so fast that is clear not many want to stay there. Eddie Perlberg out will also just increase the background noise about Max.
