It wasn't an excuse so much as an observation. On financial boards I am much more vocal about what Smith Micro's management is doing wrong. This isn't the place for it. Bottom line though is Smith Micro isn't doing much in the way of building a community of third party content providers for their product, nor are they effective in maintaining a user base. At one time they had a huge number of independent artists supporting their software including Digital Arts Zone. Through a series of management decisions and time passing, they don't anymore. This is hardly DAZ's fault, and cajoling PA's here to make products that don't sell enough to be worth their time, or complaining about broken promises from DAZ are beside the point. DAZ probably isn't creating content for the same reason others aren't doing it - it isn't profitable and nobody is a charity organization. If Smith Micro wants to rebuild its third party content making base, or actually bother creating new content themselves, that has got to be their responsibility, it certainly isn't anybody elses. I don't see any sign of that happening.
