DAZ actually make good products at a great price. Try buying anything from TurboSquid of comparable quality at the same price. In my experience, the cost of anything is nearly always related to demand...if something isn't selling, it'll eventually drop in price.
What concerns me more is Smith Micro...Poser 9 is a $300 (Manufacturers retail price) product and still not 64bit...and Poser Pro is...come on, 64bit is a standard and shouldn't need a premium product purchase for a user to gain access to. 64bit isn't a luxury anymore! Even free apps come in 64bit...Blender, oh and DAZ Studio for example.
At Amazon price, Poser 9 is worth it, but not at Smith Micro's price, thats for sure!
Why does that concern me? - well if Smith Micro can misread wider industry trends, how can they understand what there users really need as far as content is concerned??
DAZ certainly dictates the market as far as Poser content is concerned, which should be a long term worry for Smith Micro and Poser.
