Like the majority here, I will drop both Poser and DS or indeed anything else that goes the subscription route.  Unless of course they use a fair subscription system like Unreal do where you get to keep your current licence even if you opt out.  Without that, they can dream on, in fact any company that follows suit is indeed dreaming because all it will do is open the market for someone else to jump in and claim all that cash from those who will never pay subscriptions.

As for cloud-based computing, never in a million years, although I'm guessing everyone tied to Apple and Microsoft OS's will be forced into it eventually.  Lucky for me, I've been learning to use GNU/Linux so I'm ready to put a final finger up to all this subscription and cloud-based bullsh*t at the click of a button.

It's only a problem for those that don't learn to use GNU/Linux.
So like I said, not a problem for me :biggrin:
