And?
I earn 7k$ a month, its a weeks worth of disposable income, i dont even have an especially well paid job where i live, i work in construction.
Even if you are a student and get a part time gig you can save up in a week or two.
A shitty half broken car will cost you 1000$, a half decent 10 year old one at lest 5000$, and a shitty apartment will put you back 50 000$ anywhere in europe.

Yet here we are with some cunt saying 800$ is a lot. Unless you live in some poor shithole like Ukraine or Moldova then you really just dont care to spend the money on it.

since we're talking about pirated software, how can people tell whether you have a license or not?
I have some evermotion models and there are no indication that the software is licensed.
I'm sure that autodesk or any other company would be able to tell, but is there a way for regular people to check? specially if you were to buy a model that is listed in a online store
and if max/may/zbrush's files have some sort of "trail" about the license , wont that be scrapped if you just export it to obj/fbx then import it into blender and re-export it again?

I dont have anything against paying for software or subscription, but some of the prices are more than absurd and when you end up using multiple softwares is near impossible to find the funds to cover everything. I guess using blender is always an option, but the ui and workflow is just not my cup of tea
