Quote - To use the latest "Poser" technology you have to choose one or the other. Genesis or Poser Pro 2012 (V4-WM). Of course you could use both programs, but judging from the amount of fighting in the forums and deleting and locking of threads there seems to be a lot of resistance to using both programs. I fear the next version of both programs is only going to make this schism worse.
Which is probably what the DAZ givaway is attempting to stop, or at least, mitigate. If users get a chance to play with the top of the line version of D|S4, they may decide it's worth sticking with. If the free version owners have to make a small outlay for an upgrade, they may think it's worth doing so and using PP2012.
Put it this way, if they didn't have the opportunity to do so before, due to cost or whatever, there's no reason to not at least try it out now. Unless, of course, you're like me with an ancient system that won't run it. Then again, I wouldn't be able to run PP2012, either, so I'm stuck for now. Hopefully I'll have both up and running later this year.
Game changer? For DAZ, maybe.
