Read it...commented over there...notice there was no contridiction to anything I said by the "official" spokesperson. At the end of the day it is a business decision. If Daz feel they will make more money off content then Bryce and D/S will never be fully functionally competetive with Vue and Poser. They will play nice and create content that can be used across multiple apps...even those outside their stable. In this case they may well open up things like public Beta testing. If however they believe they CAN beat those other apps AND make more money by taking that approach...then D/S will try to take out Poser and Bryce will become more Vue-esque in it's capabilites and everything will be hush hush. I doubt they will take that tack because the "hobbyist" level of the market hasn't proven sustainable for too many folks...witness all the consolidation over the years. So, from a software marketing standpoint they're probably going to be happy content providers with apps that don't try too hard to beat out higher end stuff...unless they think they can take their gear into the high end market. From what I have seen...I don't think they know yet what they want to be when they grow up.
