Quote - I don't get this question. If the makers are willing to provide different versions of the same figure  (something DAZ should have done for Genesis, so Poser users could use it natively), then what's the problem?

I think the "problem" is the makers cannot provide the kind of support a figure needs to survive and thrive by themselves.  You need support from the community.  Brokered merchants, products at third party stores like Rosity, freebies.  People are curious about what it would take to support both the DS and Poser versions of the figure, and if there are ways to make it easier to support both.
