hmmmm... Major layoffs, Kupa leaves the company, restructuring. A VERY business like announcement concerning both the U.S. subsidary and the parent company... No announcement in the Beta Forum (guess we can write that off - only Steve has been answering in there since before the first of the year). Mention of partnerships with other companies, but doesn't list them. What does this mean to us? Well, don't expect P6 for a few years. Or a SR3 release. Or the promised content. If they've layed off testers and development staff (programmers), then they won't be doing much other than a holding action until some money comes in from somewhere. I think we can also say goodbye to the personal touch that was provided here. First Brian and Anthony, now Steve. I'm glad the SR2-1 release removed the security stuff. Wonder if... The last time I worked for a company that did this, it was sold in 3 months. I guess we pin our hopes that somehow someone there gets their act together, or we wait for Daz Studio and plan a migration. Hey, maybe Daz can buy Poser! Too depressing...
