If Gebe wanted her product to be available, she could have made arrangements for it. It's sadder with artists like Ironhart, who die suddenly and unexpectedly. Perhaps he would have wanted his products to remain available, but no one knows, and his heirs just don't know enough about Poser to keep the products on the market or support them.

If you want your products to remain accessible after you're gone, you have to make arrangements. Heck, it's not just 3d models. Families throw away stuff that they don't realize is very valuable, or would be valuable to a fellow hobbyist. Baseball cards, milk glass, antique clothing, you name it. I've spoken to friends about dealing with my hobby stuff if I kick off unexpectedly, because I know my family won't know what to do with it.
