Two native versions was NOT an option. Content creators would say to hell with that. Dson made it easy to port content over to Poser. For years in most cases content was Poser only or Daz only. Dson's aim was to eliminate that. Go look at Hivewire the hoops people have to go through to support a native Dawn and Poser version. Hell, they are still waiting for a Poser version of Axel. With Dson, it was a godsend for duel support. But because it could not be implemented properly in Poser, Dson sales suffered and eventually people dropped support all together. So support Native Poser and Native Studio? LOL, no thanks. That's nearly twice the work and most developers these days will just walk away. The apps today are way too different to support two native formats. Some form of emulation has to be present, or you will get support for either or, but rarely both platforms. But the decision not to implemented Dson was made, and Daz has moved on, and so should we.

Also Daz's code would not affect Poser, it would be an additional option, just like adding a new PBR. However, SM opted for the cheaper option when Hivewire announced Dawn & Dusk and jumped on them for support and told Daz to shove Dson where the sun doesn't shine, because adding Dson code would mean some additional effort. Guess SM fell for Hivewires BS hype as well. So there you have it. Instead of proper Genesis implementation, SM banked on Hivewire. In my opinion, a risky business decision putting your hopes on a new site that hasn't proved itself.
