Dpendleton77 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Autodesk is like what 120 or more a month? I don't see how this would work for the hobbyist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*A:M User* Roger Posted February 12, 2015 *A:M User* Share Posted February 12, 2015 $120 per month is a bit steep for a hobbyist. I don't want to start another argument about software subscriptions. Some people like it, some don't. I guess the way I look at it, is even were I to buy 2 AM subs every year, it is still cheaper than the alternatives. And cheaper than the historical alternatives, where you'd pay $15k-$30k for the software and then a maintenance fee in the low 4 figures.

Dpendleton77 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Roger you hit the nail on the head. I feel the same that is why I said screw it and went back to A:M or other cheaper software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelplucker Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Think they are trying to snag up some of The Housini users. I personally hate subscriptions especially monthly ones. The only 2 programs I use that are sub is AM and Illustrator CC. At least AM is well supported where as Adobe continues to sling out bloat ware with very few fixes. Autodesk isn't all that far behind Adobe in those regards. Amazingly people follow them and swear by their products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
