Quote - within six months they will take their place in the forgotten
depths of hoarded content that are the runtimes of the average poser user

 

I don't think that will necessarily be the case moving forward. 

I think the reason that's happened in the past is in large part due to everyone using V4 and M4, and all their predecessors. But now, V4 and M4's poser days are numbered. There won't be a new generation of Daz figures to fall back on, and people want new figures. A handful of artists are trying to deliver on that. The positive side of that is that multiple artsts creating new figures breeds diversity, more selection for the users to choose from, and more styles rendered, giving the users more freedom to express their own vision. 

Personally, I've never been a fan of Sixus1's human figures, but I love a lot of his monsters and creatures. They have a very Giger/Wellian feel to them, especially his older stuff. If he studied human anatomy a bit more, I think he could make some pretty awesome humans. But every artist has their strengths and weaknesses.
