It's no secret that everyone who doesn't have a license through work uses cracks because of the price.

And especially since you go from studying with a free edu version, to finishing school and not having a job you have no way of getting a legit license to practice or work on portfolio stuff without paying for a full license which not one single person out of school can afford. If Autodesk made a non-profit license, like the educational one except you don't need a edu email for like $15 a month they'd make money on that where they make $0 right now.

Many software packages, especially in industries like this with expensive software have licenses like that for 1/5th the price or something.

Like real quick conservative guesstimate napkin math:Д®ven for a small 3D company with a modest pay of $2,500 a month, the 3Ds Max licenses is only a small part of running the company and it isn't unrealistic people get $200 pay raises pretty often either, which is the price of a 3Ds Max license.ДЄutodesk offers everything free for educational use which is great, but I definitely agree they need a 'hobby' or personal license. For hobbyist, yes, 3Ds Max is crazy expensive but theres a reason it's a industry standard and that's not really gonna change more than it already have. So compared to other professions, a 3Ds Max license isn't that crazy compared to everything else. They aren't a carpenter who needs a van and tools and work shoes and clothes etc. Especially since the people who just work with 3D don't really need any other tools except a PC and a license. In the grand scheme of big companies budget, 3Ds Max licenses aren't really that high up. Big studios don't really care if they throw 1k or 5k at a license per year. It's an industry standard and it's gonna keep being an industry standard. A company like Electronic Arts doesn't feel the price of a Max license in their bottom line but 2+ grand a year is a LOT of money for a single piece of software for an individual. I'd be happy with just paying less but I'm honestly livid I pay more as a sole trader than billion dollar megacorps pay their licenses (volume discounts & 3 year subscription discounts).

What really does my head in is they offer great licensing terms for Fusion 360 where if your/your orgs revenue is under 100k a year you don't have to pay anything for the software. Even other commercial apps like Modo look like a better value proposition now and you can't compete with free software once it reaches feature parity with Max. Such a shame, it's a great piece of software ruined by corporate avarice. Tired of giving Autodesk untold amounts of my hard earned cash when they're not doing anything to justify the price hikes. Yep, 15 years for me and my subscription renewal is up in a month.
