Quote - Poser's popularity has always been content-driven. So it only makes sense that without new, cutting-edge, quality content to compete with everything else that's available, its bound to diminish in popularity as people migrate over to where the new shinies are. So yeah, pretty much I think that's why the two biggest Poser forums are mostly crickets chirping lately. And this isn't intended to start another debate, it's just an honest observation. Poser needs new content. Without it, its users go elsewhere.

I hear that alot, but I'll have to see SM's sales figures to fully believe it.  I'd think having things like the fitting room, morphs transfers, EZskin etc. would increase sales of Poser itself while lessening users' dependence on content.  Daz need to sell content because they give their program away, while Poser sales should spike whenever new features address users' needs.  (I know I'm in the minority, I buy very little but always look forward to new features to let me rework/improve the quality of my older projects or to attempt what would have been previously too daunting.)  If Poser sales are that dependent on content, I'd expect SM would push content more than they do.
