Maybe it will be an incentive to create new content and not to rehash old one.

For example, over DAZ I saw a maid dress for G3F which is nearly equal to the dozen of maid dresses made in the last 15 years. Meanwhile a partial recap of the situation for Asia:

• Korea: only a single hanbok, no male clothing
• China: a pair of hanfus IIRC, no male clothing
• Tibet: nothing
• India: some almost toonish sarees, a pair of anarkalis

I'd say that beginning to support the traditional clothing of 1/3 of human kind is more urgent than deliver the nth maid dress, isn't it? so, if there is no more market for maid dresses, the better.

There is NO incentive not to rehash old content; the OBJ is already made, it just needs a little adjustment for a new figure - go look at clothing over on Daz. Some of the g3F products go all the way back to the V3/P6 Jessi era

The problem is that with most vendors, it is about their art, not ours. They only make what they are personally interested in. They work under the rubric of: If I make it, they will buy it.

There is also the issue of vendor's aggressive unwillingness to learn any feature that has been added to Poser since Version 6. Look at materials - most vendors still make materials .pz2s (A hack for Poser 4. Hell, there are still vendors making .rsr files) and refuse to make .mc6 files - which, according to the 'Rosity vendor agreement, is a requirement.

In a similar vein, I actually had a vendor tell me that they didn't have time to learn the features in Poser 9 - while making their 1st product for Dawn (A figure that can only be used in Poser 9 or later).
