Quote - no matter what the marketing boys may think, the bottom line will still be 'Is this worth the money I'm going to spend on it?'

You're kidding, right? Is there a market of more gullible sheep on the planet than the typical Poser/DAZ addict? I would normally come up with some absurd example of a useless release that people would stampede to buy, but I can't think of anything that wouldn't get the "Well, Geez, that's not absurd; that's just what I needed!!!" response, so what's the use? Millennium Roadkill? Morphing Brick? Pink Leather Texture for the V3 Bikini? Dynamic Pizza? Fae Fire Hydrant?

If this market were actually dominated by people with the maturity to say, "What do I need that for?" rather than "Neato! Gimme! Just charge it!" we wouldn't be on the fifth or sixth clunky, bug-ridden version of Poser, and we wouldn't have 2 terabytes each of unopened downloads.

I'm not one of those who was waiting in line for the G2's, shifting from one foot to the other to avoid wetting myself. Of course they were released too soon and are a mess. What else is new?

As a rule, consumers get the markets they deserve, and consumers haven't the integrity to care where it came from, who got ripped off to guarantee them "the best price in town," what village in some unspellable country was polluted by the manufacturer, or what legitimate vendor was driven out of business by the "best price is all the matters" mentality. "Gimme!"
