Yes, the split-up originated when Curious Labs wanted $30,000 a piece to convert Mike and Vicky to work in Poser 5's Face Room.

Actually, that doesn't seem unreasonable, considering that Facegen goes for $1,000 a pop. I wonder how much CL had to pay for the Face Room license? And do they have to pay per mesh?

I wonder what the chances are of getting a "face room" plugin for D|S?
