I must have a completely different view as the team here as I do not see the original post as being offensive more an honest view on a perceived trend the OP is unhappy with. The claim that it is likely to produce a flame war, well that is down to how people respond, but I could come up with a bunch of threads that are clearly an attempt to start a war that have gone unchallenged.

Addressing the OP's question I have to say I cannot really comment on the quality of the products for, as a Poser user, I have not shopped here since September of last year. The reason for that have already been laid out very well by Kazam561 which is a real shame because Rendo used to be a site I visited on a daily basis and threw $200 - $300 at most months.

I am sorry, and I know it might make me unpopular, but to jump on to someone who appears to be really concerned about aspects of the marketplace while ignoring bigger issues......well let's just say words like Burning, Nero and Rome come to mind.

 

 

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.
