Except for the small fact that the Daz business model absolutely depends on sales of content. While D|S may have it's own following, there are still more Poser than D|S users.

Correct Laurie as I have interjected into the thread going over at Daz about this issue it would be a very serious business blunder if Daz were to cut out poser users all together. The ratio of poser users vs. D/S users is much greater and cutting poser users out would cripple Daz sales on a very large scale to the point of hurting the company. It would be foolish for Daz to make the new Gen. 5 figures only usable in their own app. The same goes for SM they cannot afford to not move forward and accommodate the new Gen. 5 figures in a new version of poser because that is what it will take a new version of poser. SM would loose a huge chunk of change in poser sales since it appears they can't create a usable and likeable figure of their own. Right now I don't see any reason to be concerned about V5 and poser unless both Daz and SM have lost all sense of reality.
