I've only been using poser for about two and a half years, but already my V4 and M4 libraries are pretty full. I don't want to buy anymore typical V4 characters that just have different makeups and a few tattoos or whatever, and I don't want to buy more skimpy fantasy outfits or underwear for her. I'm not saying I never buy anything for V4 anymore but it has to be different, for example Cybertenko's Russian regulator. But I do buy products for other poser figures, which now means Dawn, a few things for Pauline and the odd item for Miki4. (I'm discounting male figures as anything for these tends to be a rarity. ) The point I'm trying to make is that I think the market for V4/M4 amongst poser users is pretty saturated, and so of course sales will drop off. But there is an understandable short termism amongst vendors, quite naturally as they want a reasonable reward for their labours. This is what drives the vicious circle of there is little content for a figure, therefor it is hardly used, therefor no-one wants to get involved making content for it. Dawn is finally overcoming this thanks to ardent support by her creator. But SM doesn't support its figures in the same way. Perhaps one or more of the new figures we are being promised for poser by various creators will get sufficient vendor support and take off, but this might depend on vendors being willing to make less initially while support for the figure develops both amongst users and vendors. But as a Poser user I have more stuff in my runtimes already than I'm ever likely to use as well as over 1000dollars worth of stuff in various wish lists, so I'm going to be usng Poser for a long-time yet.
