Its like its a super power slowly taking over the world...
However I can not seem to hate Autodesk because I like them. So a good super power taking over the world.
Competition is good though, so yea. That kind of sucks.

How is Autodesk able to get away with buying everyone? Aren't they a monopoly now?

They are basically what Adobe is to the 2d and multimedia genre.

What's left from them to buy next? All I can think of is Blender, Cinema 4D, and Poser.

Ha, Blender was the first thing I thought of when I wondered what next but they'd never buy that... open source and all. Maxon, I doubt, would never sell out to Autodesk. Most people could see the XSI thing coming though.

I guarantee you once any major app starts posing a threat to any app that AD own, they will buy it out.
And don't be so sure on that Maxon thing Kris. Every company has their price
