I wasn't singling you out, btw.  Some people, however, accused me of scare mongering when it was bloody obvious they'd eventually use a proprietary format and release content only in that. 

As for them running themselves into the ground, DAZ have been diversifying so I don't think it will worry them too much if the Genesis D|S thing doesn't pan out the way they hoped.  If they don't end up being the dominant app in this tiny market they still have tons of content they can sell to Poser users, plus the games developer stuff and probably a whole lot more.

I know this scenario has been compared to the VHS/Beta format war but there's a world of difference in that home video was a mass market, whereas what we are part of is really a teeny tiny little thing.  I sometimes wonder if the market is big enough to support two competing formats.

Fortunately, both companies seem to be keen on developing new versions and new tools, which can only be good.  Certainly, the new versions of Poser sound promising.  

It will be interesting to see how things look in 5 years time.
