"IMO is all about doing something new here, not necessarily replicating the traditional 3D business model(s). They're coming at 3D from many directions, figure rendering, modeling, models, avatars and more I've probably missed."
Not sure what their grand scheme is, dont care really, but clearly they hope that high end users in the Autodesk Maya communities will become as interested in genesis as their current hobbiest user base.

*note the hi-res mesh quite different from the sims Game res version from the current PP2012 Cr2 exporter.
I personally think this is a non starter unless they can pull off a technological miracle that Gives that hosted genesis Maya's NATIVE rigging and controls that professional Maya character animators have come to expect in pro Game/Film and VFX pipelines
but hey its their money & Dev time to expend
Cheers
