Renderosity's largest strength over the years, where they realized it or not, is what founded it; that Renderosity has been the bridge between the roads to the rest of Poserdom.

Renderosity is mostly add-on for content core items sold/available elsewhere. What would happen if Daz sent every mil merchant an email asking them to move their mil content to the Artzone MarketPlace? Or if they simply ran a "Content Search" promotion looking to canvas Renderosity's top sellers?

With the revamp of Artzone, finally moving to a glossier-than-Renderosity format, this path of recent decision making is not wise. Do you think they would close Poser Pros without a plan in mind? Artzone is not using the term "marketplace" by coincidence. Does Renderosity really think Daz will not forcibly seek Renderosity's revenue share for their figures at some point? Now come on , see the forest through the trees.

If Daz ever moves to accept Renderosity's vast collection of merchant Mil content, Renderosity will not survive. For the same reasons people chose Renderosity over the Poser Forum online many years ago, people will choose Daz over Renderosity.

A better way is to re-focus all efforts on fortifying that role as the bridge to all of Poserdom/Dazopolis, fostering/repairing relationships with content creators on all sites. Make a commitemt to be a content creator friendly site that private boutique stores would happily recommend to those wanting to broker. Not everyone wants to run a brokerage.

Isn't it time to mend fences, not build walls.
