DSON is a much better solution than having two separate WM Versions of Genesis. Ask yourself this, how many people would bother making content twice using different formats? With DSON you only had to do it once and change materials. Creating content for two different WM systems was not a viable solution. Half the content creators would have gladly showed the middle finger and you would end up with content that is Daz only or this is Poser only. DSON gave us the ability to support both platforms with ease. All we needed was SM to help DSON out but they didn't. So ultimately, DSON got a bad rep in Poser due to its performance, which led to little people using it, which led to content creators ultimately dropping DSON support because of the low Poser adoption which didn't generate revenue for the added effort. So now, here we are. Genesis 3 being Daz only.
Perhaps you are right about content creators, but in anyway it is a better solution for a native Poser user, use DSON is not a solution for the final user at all.
About SM to help DSON, wait, why Poser have to help DSON, it is the creator of the figure the one that have to give support to the figure inside a software, not the software creator.
About G3 is Daz only, is a decision from Daz3d, good or bad, but their decision, and it was their decison in G1 too, because the DSON patch came later.
Again, and I don't want to be repetitive, Daz3d create Genesis for and only for their own software DS, that could be great, but then, when you see your buyers asking for a Poser version, nobody, Daz3d or the buyers cannot ask to SM to find a solution to run Genesis in Poser, ask it to Daz3d.
And add again, the Poser world doesn't begins or ends in Genesis , there are many figures in the market for Poser that are great figures, some of them from Daz3d.
