Quote - $40 for D|S and the Vicky 5 morph kit. ...compared to...

$262 for Poser 9 and the Antonia morph kit.

The V5 morph kit, by itself, is about comparable to the standalone Antonia, by itself.  V5 includes two (count em folks, two) full body morphs, a single head morph, some boobie morphs (haha so cynical) and its standard price is $40.  The morph set for Antonia at RDNA's standard price is $17, and includes 10 new FBMs, and just, I mean, wtf dude I dunno how you can compare those two items with a straight face.  To get Genesis in the same ballpark as the Antonia morph kit you have to spend more like $150 just on morphs.

I also dunno how you can possibly compare Poser 9 to the free D|S.  I mean what the fuck.  I like you and all, not trying to be a jerk here, but what the fuck.  Does the free D|S have sculpting tools, rigging tools, global illumination, and just, I mean, what the fuck.  Is your point that new users can't read feature lists?  How do you think Poser ever sells any copies at all?  Just legacy users?  Are you kidding?

e: note I'm not bashing D|S at all here, just, wtf, how can you possibly consider it to have the same dollar value as Poser 9?  Even when I was brand new to 3d, I started with D|S, looked at the feature list of Poser 6 and was happy to pay the full price.
