What if 3 years from now Softimage lives on?

AD will no longer sell licenses of Softimage?

That's the main problem. Even small studios need new licenses every now and then.

I'm using SI 2011, a 4 years old version, in a few projects (paying subscription because otherwise you can't use a 4 years old version, even if you don't use a single command).

So stop developing SI doesn't hurt us as much as not being able to buy new licenses. ("us" as japanese game industry using Softimage).
