Ambient:

Im not assuming that they are not used at all. But fixing them can make that happen to either version.

Fixing them means a few things can, and need to happen.

Vendors can update the content already out there, or make new content for the corrected version.

In Sydneys example:

If someone already has a bunch of old Sydney/G2 content and an older version of Poser, the new character and content are irrelivant to them and they will not need or buy any of it.

There is a flip side to that, the customer that has all the old content, the newest version of Poser, the updated character, and the content does not get updated.

They will either buy the new content, or move on to another character that they have content for.

I have V4 content that was never updated when V4 was. The vendors for one reason or another didn't update it. I never bought another thing from those vendors again. I eventually went back to V3 after it happened repeatedly. I have over 200 gig of V3 content that at the time would have just sat there if moving to V4 anyway.

What's to blame, the content creators or the update that broke it? Hmm....

Updating a character is a double edged sword. Catering to everyone can not be done by one group of people, everyone that ever created anything for it has too as well.

What are the chances of that happening with any character if it didn't happen with V4?

2 versions of Antonia and V4~WM are proof positive of that. No one really showed any interest in updating content, and the script to do so didn't really help the image of V4~WM that much either. People wanted a better character for Poser, a bunch of us pumped out 3 of them in less than a year. V4~WM can use practically anything that was for V4, and people still complained because it wasn't "whatever".

I probably look at it from another perspective because I was one of the people that wanted to give people better characters. Then quickly discovered that they really didn't know what they wanted to begin with.
