Using site statistics to prove how healthy a piece of software is can be very misleading.  You can use statistics for galleries and forums but get the same misleading results because the majority of Poser users do not upload to the galleries or use the forums.

Less is being spent on Poser content, well that is a surprise when a lot of users have stuck with V4 and have being buying content for years.  Does that mean that they use Poser less, hard to prove.  Many just make their own stuff or, like me, have just changed focus.  I have now purchased Vue and use my Poser content in that.  I still buy content but it is more weighted towards Vue content but I still use Poser everyday.

The only thing that will make me reluctant to upgrade to the next version of Poser is based up on the activation / deactivation process they might use but that is a very different story.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
