*Exactly.  It will be a slow process of attrition at first, not many new users coming into poser and a lot of us older folks who are in the hobbyist realm starting to look at other options provided Smith Micro doesn't wise up and and at the very least set there upgrade pricing to a reasonable level.  I'm sure not paying $200 for an upgrade to a program who's full version only cost me $150, particularly when the upgrade itself could best be described as minor.

*Not to mention the arch-viz modelers coming to the poser market,  desperate to sell their models,  driving prices down further. 

While poser vendors think to themselves,  hmmm one month to create a functional poser model, it generates $200 in sales.  That's $50 a week,  $10 a day,  $1.20 an hour.  When wages at studios are $20 to $50 an hour.  Think they will stay?
