LasloV the marketing director for EF just managed to annoy the folks at the CP forums by writing that EF/CP had until the end of fall (Dec. 21) to get out Poser 7, and still not have exceded their promised release date. He says they understand the issue completely. They should, seeing the high volumn of negative EMail their marketing has produced, and the low consumer confidence their lack of helpful information has created.

Starlet, the CP Product Manager, did not help much by pointing out that even though EF/CP had missed deadlines in the past, they had finally told people about it. She followed up with a lecture about being patient, which should go over really well.

Really, marketing is not that hard folks. Consumers are easily dazzeled. A few renders a week, let the beta-testers discuss the product, and let content providers talk about their future plans for products, and the customers will patiently wait in line for just about ever. You have to (HAVE TO) entertain us. its just that simple.

So, don't hold your breath, Poser 7 will be out when EF/CPdecides to or is actually able to releases it. Don't expect a change in their marketing plan.
