The orginal article at http://www.pcformat.co.uk/news/detail.asp?id=22698
is rediculous. It states that Max is "The PC's, and just possibly the whole world's, most expensive 3D modelling package". --It is hardley and not even close to being the worlds most expensive 3d software. A single RAT package is $8000. Additional Licenses are 5000$, plus 750$ maintainence per license. Complete Soft licenses can go up to 25,000$ +.
They also claim "Half the world's Mod makers are probably using illegal full versions of 3D Studio MAX already". They are just making shots in the dark here? Can't they do some research and not accuse mod makers of being pirates. I know atleast 20-30 people who make custom skins and do it with legit software at work, or who use freeware at home.
