In answer to the OP's question, it might depend on what you mean by dying. Do you mean the purchase of new versions is not happening or the use of Poser is dying?

I have yet to upgrade to Poser 11 and it is still no better than 50/50 whether I will or not. This is a departure for me as I have purchased every upgrade since Poser 5 including, unfortunately, Game Dev. With the upgrade a question I suppose you could say I am doing little to keep Poser alive. On the other hand I use Poser Pro 2014 on a daily basis although these days it is mainly with Dawn. I still buy Dawn products and I have purchased a lot of sci-fi scenes from Daz recently, some are new but still support Poser and some old products where the vendor has moved on to Daz only. Big plus for me though is all of these products have been heavily discounted. I am still buying Hivewire3D family related stuff from but, of course, most of that can be used both in Poser and Daz.

I hope Poser keeps going, it's imminent death has been forecast for the ten years I have been doing the hobby, but if it fails it does not mean I will stop using it from there on in.

I haven't been using Poser nearly as long, I dabbled very lightly earlier with 9. I didn't really get into it until I picked up Pro 2012, now on 2014. I'm not sure 11 has any features that I'm really in, especially since I have Octane for a renderer. But I admit I my hobbyist use uses very few features of Poser.
