Microsoft acquires Simplygon

How long will their services be provided? Will this be the most ironic startup name ever?!

Given the Simplygon team's commitment to customers - I am sure they will make sure everyone is supported as the service evolves for a wider audience with Microsoft over time.

As you probably already know, the name Simplygon - is a play on Simplify Polygon - since the product started as a polygon optimization tool (but has evolved to be far more than just this today). Donya Labs - the company that develops Simplygon platform has been around for 10 years. The Simplygon tech is widely used by major game studios and major manufacturers for creating automated 3D asset optimization pipelines for game production, visualization and VR/AR applications.

Given Microsoft's Creative Update and Windows Hololographic platform and Simplygon's proven capabilities- this is a strategically important acquisition for both MS and the professional 3D industry. Its going to be interesting to see how this evolves.

Disclaimer - I have worked with the Donya Labs team in the past and more than a little biased - they are a great team and this is a great result for them and MS.
