What's a "sudo fact"?

sudo apt-get install thetruth?

In any case, Poser may well be fine without Daz. Who knows? There may be lots of users who have never even heard of Daz. And how many others who are happy to make their own stuff?

So, for shvrdavid and others like him, who can more or less create their own content, it's not really a problem.

Poser content creators, on the other hand, will have problems, as it seems clear to me that the users who actually spend a fair amount of money on content are gravitating towards DS. The vendors will solve that by focusing on the market where they can actually make a buck.

It's quite possible that a small but robust niche market for Poser compatible content may evolve and thrive. Part of the problem of making money in the market was the sheer enormity of the competition among vendors. If a great many of them leave the Poser content market, those who remain will have a much bigger share of what remains. It might well be far more than they started with. In the end, this may turn out to be exactly what the Poserverse needed.

In the meantime, for the ordinary Poser user, there will be some sting of severe growing pains. Hence the continual complaining!

I guess we'll have a better idea of where things stand a year or two after Poser 11 is released. Until then... well. Anything could happen.
