In my view the blame for this lies squarely at the feet of mental images.
To
offer a deal like this to one product maker but deny it to another -
I'm
assuming it was denied because I can't imagine Softimage saying no,
we'd
rather not if you don't mind - smacks of anti-competitive practice.
And if
it's not anti-competitive it's still a bloody disgrace.
But
I think mental images are the people to hammer on rather than Softimage.
