I don't see it affecting things either way.. sure some lower end consumer sales will suffer, but some prosumer customers will fill some of that void, and that have more disposable income, because they are doing commercial work.

And comparitively, poser pro costs really no more then poser 7 did.. look at how much staples like milk, eggs, or gas have gone up in price since poser 7's release. The us dollar has also devalued about 30% in that time frame, so to make the same amount of money they did before, poser pro has to cost more.

If people can afford $69 for videogames, $800 for video game consoles, $40 for blue ray movies, surely the value is there for poser pro.

Everythings spiralling up in cost... no one likes it, but it's a fact of life. here's another great example: Hulk toys for the first movie came out at $4.99. For the new movie, they are retailing at $14.99! Triple the cost.

Why do I mention that? Hulk came out about the same time as Poser 7.  So if they both increased in cost the same percent, Poser pro should cost 2/3rd MORE then poser 7. (Yet it doesn't at all.)

or look at eggs... $69 cents a dozen back then, $3.20 a dozen now. or milk.. $1.29 a gallon then, $3.50 a gallon now.

We won't even mention how much gas has gone up in the same timeframe.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
