Agreed. Hell Maya Unlimited is 10,000 dollars! I mean really? Software that costs as much as a Car?

Re: Must be a slow news day

If it's used to do animations for multi-million dollar grossing movies, and it's the best software for the job, why not charge as much as they can?

Re: Must be a slow news day

Well that's my point. It's price gouging. I'm not for once going to say your average person spends 10,000 on Maya. Still, just because it has the potential to animate a great movie, doesn't mean one should charge an arm and a leg. A car has the potential to drive around the world and get prob 3 or 400,000 miles if kept up. Should a dealer charge you based on the possible usage of the car versus the actual value?

The actual value is whatever someone will pay for it.

Apparently, that's the problem. Too many people ARE NOT willing to pay and would rather steal such things. Youll never rid yourself of piracy, but you can make things within reason so that most will go out and buy. Owning an original copy is much better than a pirated one which often doesn't work fully or needs constant patching.
