I would not give any credibility to anyone manking that kind of claims without providing evidence.

What happened is that Poserworld user based shrank. That is their issue and, as unpleasant that might be, it's not indicative of a trend in the industry. A lot of restaurants close their doors every year. That is not an indication that people stopped eating ;)

Development of Poser is continuing at great pace and the new game development version is proof of that.

Development of Studio is continuing as well and new characters and options are available. A recent report forecasted the 3D market to be expanding in the next few years so we are in good shape.

Cheers.
