"From everything I have read Pauline and Paul or actually more of a Vendor Base then a Consumer figure base. You like good bends? Better learn to create JCM's or find a product that gives them to you . You want her to look better? Better hope a vendor creates a character you like or learn to Model. Once again SM seem to be leaving the figures future in the hands of 3rd parties developers"
Indeed sir The prevailing unofficial speculation over at RDNA is that these are just "bases" and not the "final bases" at that. No official confirmation from SM.
While I dont dismiss this approach out of hand( if true)
I do indeed question the business model of expecting existing users to pay for upgrades or new users to pay the full purchase price( $300-$400??) for a new version of poser to access these figures.
And further expecting them to wait patiently while all of the "Fixes" "Enhancements" etc are randomly "crowd sourced" by some presumed, disparate group Skilled enthusiasts who will risk shouldering the cost in time and resources to create and market the Content,morphs etc.
show me me any industry producing tangible or digital products where such business model is profitable???
