Did you buy Poser 6 so you could one day get a deal on Poser 7, or did you buy it to use it?
I think a low price across the board is a good idea. It helps to get more people in, which is what is most important.
The money isn't made on the application these days, its made on the clip art people buy after they have the application.
Poser now has to compete with Daz Studio, which is free. It may be more limited, but it is free. It is hard to compete with free. The difference in value between what Daz Studio and Poser 5 can do is only $20 at the moment. Poser 7 is now claiming it is $109 better than Poser 5. That's a tough sell, given what you can do with Poser 5 is not that bad. Even Poser 5 is a tough sell given what you can do with Daz Studio. It hinges on the cloth room for the most part - which is a great value, but only if you understand its potential, and a lot of users don't.
Those Poser 4 users and Poser 5 users did not get to enjoy using Poser 6 the way you did. That is what you paid for when you bought Poser 6.
Did you find no value in owning Poser 6 in the time you had it? Would you have been just as happy with Poser 4?
Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
