There is a difference between the health of Poser and the Poser vendors.

Vendors made the decision not to support modern figures.

'Rosity made the decision to not enforce their own standards for selling Poser content (content must have material mc6s, for instance).

Demanding that content be able to run on ancient versions of Poser, when both Windows and OSX are dropping support for 32-bit programs isn't the smartest business decision.

I factor in how much work I need to do to bring a Poser product into the 21st Century before I buy. When a vendor tells me they don't have time to learn the features of Poser 9 when they are making a product for Dawn, they shouldn't expect my money.

Vendors intransigence is why we have advanced features like the fitting room, Poser add-ons like HCS, and stand alone products like Texture Transformer.

Every one of them lessens the value vendors in the Poser ecosystem. All of them were made because vendors don't want to leave their comfort zone.

At some point, vendors (and 'Rosity) need to accept the fact that it isn't October 2007 anymore.
