"We'll never abandon our Poser customers." — DAZ, some time in 2008, on these very boards

Yeah, as if.

And sorry but it's hardly "super outdated tech". The biggest reason Poser was abandoned was because it didnt have a big busty showgirl at its centre. From a technical standpoint, Poser still has the edge when it comes to animation and cloth dynamics, not to mention lighting, but since users cant put their hot, sexy Vicky in there, they're not interested in using it.

That's why the program is dying, folks. Has nothing to do with the technical capabilities. It has everything to do with Sexy Barbie and her Sexy Friends commandeering this entire market for years now. And that should not be rocket science to anyone.
