They could well go to a subscription basis but it depends how they do it. I pay each month to keep my copy of Vue current but if I stop paying I still have the latest version to play with I just lose the next update. I am happy with that, but if it means, when I stop the subscription I lose the program, that is a big NO NO in my book.

Like PrecisionXXX I can see me still using Poser 2014 in ten years. I hope SM make enough pirates pay for a legal copy to make up for those loyal users that are not updating, somehow I doubt they will.

 

 

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.
