1. Character Making companies exists already.  Just how do you propose to get vendor and end users to adapt new figures? Vendors & customers alike spend time & effort looking for reasons to avoid any new figure - most of which have been ridiculous reasons.

HiveWire3D has some fans.
but HiveWire3D or another Character company needs to work a lot faster.

If you want freakshow figures with unrealistic proportions like the DAZ figures, Dawn SR2 is being released this month along with Dusk - who is going to a LOT of morphs out of the gate. 

I and a lot of others like the genesis figures

If you are looking for a replacement for V4 & M4, your requests have been answered by the guy that made Victoria and Michael.

atualy I replaced V4,M4 with V5,M5 :)

If you want realistic figures with realistic proportions, you have the SM figures and most of the other 3rd party figures made over the past few years.

I like the characters that came with Pro 14 also.
but I'm a Fantasy Artist ,never really cared about rendering what I could take a picture of.

Those of you waiting for a Poser-Native genesis figure are just kidding yourselves - which if you had gone peeking inside of the PCFs over the last couple of years, you would realize by now.  In addition, DAZ has made it quite clear that they would rather go out of business rather than make Poser native figures.  This is a corporate ego thing - not a techinical issue, as the release of Dawn made quite clear.

Wich is why Poser needs a character making company to replace DAZ.

You can also refurb your legacy characters, if you are not too lazy to actually RTM.

I only work on my own Meshes .

What more do you want?

I want Poser to survive for another 20 years.
A CGI app without competition is nothing but stagnated.
Think it would have taken Poser 20 years to get SubD's if DAZ Studio was around in 1994 ?

Problem #1 - solved. 

We have different opinions about that.

2.  The Poser development team is making Poser the "wickedest app out there".  It is leveraging itself into more professional workflows. Which we can take advantage of, if you are willing to move beyond a Poser 6 workflow - which most hobbyists around here are not, apparently.

I have Pro 14.

Poser has the frameworks available to add quite a bit and more of the frameworks become visible with every release - which a number of vendors are already doing - visit RDNA & take advantage of what is available - and get an idea of what is coming down the pike.

I like seeing venders making up to date meshes

It is amazing what you can find if you shop at more storefronts than just 'Rosity. 

I get around :)
