im busy working right now so really ive only seen this thread and havent had the time to pore over the SM site, nor am i really that interested.
i assumed they would be doing an online release for poser pro at first, like many software companies are doing.

if they actually boxed it and shipped it like this, geez.

it used to be that metacreations took active part in the community. each new successive owner takes less and less part in the community and apparently loses touch even more. simply browsing the poser marketplaces and interacting with the community would have averted something like this easily.

theyve basically bundled 'redistributable content' that no experienced merchant would touch with a 10 foot pole. way to go, i wonder what fun suprises await us in Poser 8.
