They already earning money now selling multi figure content. So why do they need their own figure if they already making money just selling content, be it for Daz only, Poser only or both?
Because V4 is getting older for one. For two, DAZ could decide to stop selling V4/G2/anything that can work in poser and poser users don't need to be at the mercy of that one company. About everyone I've talked to tells me G3, ie the newest figure, doesn't work at all in poser. For 3, poser can do things like weightmapping that I don't believe is possible in DS. For 4, if there's no new products for poser users to buy then rendo's poser userbase will stop buying here and that's going to hurt the bottom line.
Not sure I understand point two, in four years I have shopped three times at Daz two were free items for V4 and M4 and the other order was when they had a sale on some space crafts. Daz stopped providing content for my Vicky many moons ago. The diversification and saturation of the market is all ready impacting the bottom line and I think it can only get worse, at least in the short to medium term. I am really not sure another figure helps that situation at all.
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.
