Am I getting confuded in the rush of revisionist history or didn't Poser get FireFly and the FaceRoom (and possibly other bits) from someone else? The origins are far less important than the end result, i.e. DS Cloth not so good, FireFly great, FaceRoom not so much etc.

I could see if Poser adopted Daz's format exclusively, they'd be in a dangerous position but why would they do that. Adding Genesis support as an addition to their own only broadens their appeal. I can see from a technical standpoint not wanting to have two similar, but not the same technologies, or from a bidness standpoint of wanting to have your own figures, but the whole existential threat thng seems overblown. Oh well, SM got the house, Daz got the kids, and I'm sure that somehow, somewhere, lawyers got the money - time to move on.
