They only paid six million for the whole deal..... that includes Poser, Anime Studio, Manga Studio, (perhaps even some minor apps) and even ContentParadise is included in the deal.
To which I reply... so? Three big ones in cash per year would fund a good-sized development team -and- the machinery required to keep 'em happy. Anime Studio and Manga Studio are pretty tiny compared to Poser, so no biggie there. CP prolly pulls in ab't $1m-$2m per year after overhead... and I'm being really liberal about the figures.
To be honest, Methinks Smith Micro spent quite a wad for what they got. Not denigrating Poser or such, but seriously - it ain't that pricey.
