Quote - What if, in the event that there were NO MORE Daz figures, would the Poser community do?

I haven't read most of the posts in this thread, but here is my take on the original question.

Personally I doubt that DAZ could afford to forsake a large portion of their market by abandoning compatibility with Poser any time in the near future. But if they did, I suspect that market forces would mean that someone would step in to fill the gap. At the moment is is hard for a potential competitor to get  foot hold because DAZ dominates the scene, but if DAZ left the field of battle, it would leave a very attractive evolutionary niche open to new species. That might be a very good thing for the Poser community. After all DAZ are not very good at making 3D figures. It took them 4 versions of Victoria to come up with something that was significantly better than Posette. Where the DAZ figures have excelled, is not in the design and function of the figures themselves, but rather in the amount of support they have managed to engender in terms of add-on content available for their figures. Take away the textures and clothing, and the figures by themselves are not that impressive.

If T-Rex disappears, will the jungle remain bereft of a top predator, or will the mouse of today evolve into the tiger of the future?
