There were a couple of points in the Chris Creek interview that I found particularly interesting.

He said that the new board wanted to stop work on an in-house figure and "let the artists come up with one".

He actually had to fight the board to keep figure development going.

Incidentally, he also says, quite candidly, that they bought all the other software packages to keep them out of the hands of Curious Labs (they were Poser's owners at that time.)
