Dear Mythocentric you said it perfectly in your deep post. I have a lot to say about the PS and DS argument because unfortunately touches base with me. I was also at Rdna so to me it is a very present situation. What I can say is that, honestly, things are really complicated and messed up from when the big companies started to go in two different directions.

For us, content creators, and for sites like this one, it was total chaos. I can surely say that Hivewire is doing well to promote both with characters that work also in both programs, while Daz and SM have V4 like last compatible figure and then they split and we all go crazy figuring out what works where, making tons of different MATs, morphs, adjusting wiggies and dresses...

It doesn't help that Daz is exiting daily with bazillions of versions of roughly the same puppets like The Girl 327, but really pushing the content sales, while SM gave us Pauline and, to be honest, it is not very loved and I am one of the very few that does anything with her.

I totally get your point of view, being also a buyer myeslf, but when you said "Renderosity has gone too far and lost the balance of products it used to do so well." it is actually because the balance is now shifted all in one direction only and not because Renderosity is pushing us to do so.

For us, Poser lovers, V4 and Dawn are what is left so far. I do this as a main job and I am top seller from many years doing mainly Poser stuff so I can surely say that, so far, Poser is well alive still.

It is frustrating to see all the pretty clothes and shoes to only fit one categoy of puppets that we cannot play with! Feels like when I try to go shop in those fancy places where the clothes size is only baby size and I curse a lot LOL because curvaceous ladies like me cannot enter in the darn pretty dress that is only made for really skinny ladies

But I get why sellers and stores try to push in the other direction, having budgets and expenses and taxes to deal with. Well, I have those too, unfortunately, but I told you I am a black sheep and maybe not a very bright one either And even a stubborn goat like me is using Daz on and off from last year, because it's what buyers are asking the most it seems.

I dream that either Sm and Daz will get back together making compatible items again because, like I said in my previous post, nobody can benefit from a monopolized program, especially one that tends to be controlling and full of crazy rules (even if, ironically, it's given free), or that SM, that finally now has his own forum which is also very alive, moves to create a very good puppet that we can all love.

It is a very important matter for all of us, I thank you for bringing this out.
