Bringing this to the attention of US congress can easily land Autodesk in legal hot water and force them to compete through features and listening to our needs and demands, instead of just buying competition and ignoring us. Autodesk is based in the US, and in the US it's a fairly serious crime to engage in anti-trust the way Autodesk has. Step 7: Try to report Autodesk for monopoly to a politician. Step 6: Try to see if friends who use Autodesk products will join you. Step 5: If you work for or run a studio or company that uses Autodesk products, try to convince your coworkers/boss/employees to make the switch as well, increasing the profit dive Autodesk would end up experiencing from a consumer backlash. Remember to be polite, succinct, and literate. Then send it to Autodesk, or post it somewhere they can see it, along with your intention to give up Autodesk products for good so long as your concerns remain unaddressed. Is there a feature that's lacking? Note it down. Is there a bug you want to see corrected that they've neglected? Note it down. I can't personally vouch for these programs, but as long as it's not an Autodesk product, it will serve the cause. Blender, Modo, Rhino, Meshmixer, Wings 3D, Cinema 4D. Step 3: Move to an older version of Autodesk if you still have your old installation disk, or switch to a competitor. If Autodesk fears consumer backlash, they'll have to listen, or start losing their expensive cars. In other words, cancel your subscription.

Step 2: Aim for their wallets, yachts, mansions, and vineyards. I have a feeling the Autodesk Ivory Tower isn't going to like this much. Step 1: Copy/paste this into a text editor if you don't have time to read it all now.

But if you want Autodesk to wake up, you'll have to suck it up and suffer a little now for benefits later.
