I didn't say that Wolf said for SM to Implement Genesis.  I said that the original quote is not simply about SM "investing development time and money" and there's more to it than that.  There are more angles to look at concerning their reservations.

SM presented Roxie and Rex.  For reasons we can all list, they weren't adopted by the bulk of users, at least not the bulk of forum going users or those that spend money in the marketplaces that we can gauge.  There's more angles to that as well.  For all we know, they are used by businesses and schools that purchased Poser and other areas we have no knowledge of.  Also, for all we know, users have emailed SM their feelings on the figures, and they are weighing in that criticism.  Or do you mean taking them to task where it can publicly be seen by all?

DAZ has no responsibility at all to provide native working Poser figures.  They want to provide native figures for their application and offer some means to have Genesis in Poser.  DAZ has gradually moved from a Poser content developer to having their own system and figure for that system.  I don't have a single issue with that, so you're not getting any argument from me on it.

You can speculate whatever you'd like from the blog post.

I didn't say that DS didn't have a stable release.  Don't be so touchy.  I simply was trying to illustrate that the two companies do things differently and are not in sync with each others development cycles.  However, if some new or altered feature was prominent in a beta release or a product called for using a beta version (this has happened), then there could be pressure there if Poser natively used DS tech.

I don't know specifically what these companies are doing, their internal long-term goals and I'm not on their board of directors.  Nor is anyone else here, to the best of my knowledge.  We are all speculating and I thought generally just having a kind of "coffee chat" over why Dawn doesn't rule and so on.  Noone should get all a flutter over it.
