"...I think if the ORIGINAL Poser development team of Fractal Design folks were still developing Poser now, by Poser 6 they would be very much more in the area of "The Sims 2"..." Note that the "original team from fractal design" was with Poser until quite recently. And I do mean the original -- They continued to own the code. So this is erroneous. As for the bulk of the rest of your points, please re-read my comments hon -- I already addressed all of them in my previous commentary -- so right now you are simply restating your position, and more or less ignoring what I said. This is proven even more strongly by your last statement. Those game toolsets (which are engine specific -- including the ones you linked to above (and those are hardware specific)) you are talking about are already in existence. Avatar lab allows folks to create figures for adobe atmosphere. so, again, this is nothing new or startling -- it has been around for a long, long time. And lastly for me, Jim Burton raises a point I've been loathe to bring up myself. And that's that these folks don't spend money on 3rd party add-ons. And there a TONS of third party add-ons for Sims1 and most of the other games you speak of -- but free. The pay-for's don't exist or don't do well, and therefore it's not a valid market for your near term predicitions.

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
