Two reasons Ant:
#1) I HATE 3D Studio Max. I've worked with it a lot and I simply hate it. I admit that there are some thing that it can do that LW can't, but the stuff that both can do, Lightwave does a lot better and easier.
#2) I don't know Maya that well, and getting support for it is a b*tch!
And just because a program is used a lot doesn't necciarilly mean they're the best programs to use. If everyone used Truespace, do you think I would? No. It's a piece of sh*t! (No offense to anyone who likes it.) You have to use the programs that are best for your workflow. (Especially if you don't work for a pre-established company, like us.) And since we have our own programmers, we can convert to & from LW with a bit of work. If I went to work for Blizzard, I'd naturally have to use 3D Studio Max, because they're an established company using software that they've already bought.
But since we're NOT a company (yet... If the remake is good enough, we might be able to form our own little gaming company!) we can use any software we want. I hope this answers your questions.
