i'm not ready to boycott them (yet- i have artists there i follow), but i deeply hate being lied to.  the ad copy and forum posts saying this was a technical issue, and that they tried hard to get around it, are lies.  if it was technical, a company that invented several figure innovations could have done before release what a single, independent user could do in one day.  Poser scaling is different than D|S scaling, but that's not the issue. the issue is why they, with all their expertise and previous experience making figures that scale perfectly well in Poser, didn't bother to make the same effort glaseye did.  and it wasn't for technical reasons, it was for business reasons.  which is fine, imho. just say that.

and they had to know this would spark frictions between user communities as D|S users defended them.

well, i hope this series of events and statements makes us all a little more deliberate about where and how we spend our money, and a little less credulous about all business' actions and statements.  otherwise, we'll end up funding changes to the market that we don't want, rather than fostering changes we do.
