I think the problem is that Poser has no "pro-market".

Scale modelling was "THE" hobby in the 60's and 70's, but because of advancements in computers and video games, it was basically dead by the 80's.

But apart from the mainstream kids market, there was also a dedicated group of "serious" adult modellers who yearned for more accurate and more niche models regardless of cost.

At first it was only a small "semi-pro" cottage industry that produced high end models for them, but starting in the 90's, more and more new kit companies were founded that also catered to that "pro" market, resulting in a bigger than ever scale modeling hobby noone in the 80's would have ever dreamed about.

Back in the 80's you were lucky if one or two new kits were released each year, now it's dozends every month.

And the quality has also skyrocketed.

 

Back to Poser, the problem is we need customers willing to pay, let's say $150 for a set of "niche" clothing instead of $15.

History shows, we simply don't have that type of "serious" customers.

Honestly said, I really don't know, why.

Either Poser is strictly a "poor man's hobby" or Poser customers are so spoiled by all the "offers" and "deals" that they simply can't appreciate the added expense of creating something "non-mainstream" any more.
