I'll never understand why the announcement of a new figure, software, or other item is typically greeted as a downer and a cause for much moaning in the Poserverse. I just don't follow the reasoning there. And whether or not the new item is free or costs a few bucks is irrelevant as a cause of the typical negative reaction -- because regardless of whether the new thing is free, or it costs something: its coming is still treated as a negative in the forums.
Sorry -- but I don't buy it. I might buy the new figure/software......but I what I don't buy is the apparent underlying idea that all things new in the Poserverse are a reason for universal mourning. And lest anyone say that it's merely because they don't happen to like this or that aspect about the new thing: I have yet to see ANY new figure/software in the Poserverse greeted with "this is good, because they aren't stagnating".
Perhaps we should all go back to using P4 (which very few still do, in spite of some vocal claims to the contrary), and never change. Anything. Ever.
But somehow.........I don't think that anyone would be very happy in that fool's paradise, either.
Hurray for V4.2. And for V4.3 -- whenever she comes out. A4, too -- and M4. New incarnations of the G2 figures.....whatever. IMO: it's all good. And it's all something to be happy about.
