Oh, AutoDesk…you have such a way with words. Honestly, I would rather learn to design in OpenSCAD than send AutoDesk a single penny.

    I just got this mail. They are very funny. It is clear that they are trying to generate money by adding features, but the whole point is that I don’t need more features.

    I just need the program as it is, hell, they can still take more functionality away and it will still work for me just fine. I just use it for small projects, maybe twice a year.

    If the free version ever goes away, I’ll just learn some other program. There might be a learning curve, but I don’t mind.

    And I understand that they need to make money, and they have every right to charge whatever they want. But mails like this make them look desperate for cash.

    If they really don’t want too, don’t have a free product. Then everybody knows what is up.
