And this is why we can't have nice things in Poser..

What's the point of even TRYING to create new things when vendors have already decided they won't support anything that doesn't have a DAZ logo?

Again, that's not what's being said and that's not the issue is. Let's not be so entitled that we're not paying attention to what vendors are saying. Vendors have bills to pay and you're asking a vendor to risk their monthly rent on something that may not pan out. They don't have the luxury of "trying new things".. this is where the figure maker or company has to work with the vendors as they develop the figure to ease their fears and help with the workflow to make the content, not just release a figure and treat vendors as an afterthought and customers not caring if the vendors can actually afford to make the item and if they can't, they treat them as villains. Keep in mind some of these vendors have stuck their neck out for previous 3rd party releases and paid the price with low sales. While customers' lives went on after a bad release, it was the vendors that ended up suffering. But this situation was derived from something that happened behind the scenes that we're not privy to, and whether it was intentional or not, the perception that vendors or a store is being slighted and customers are quick to treat vendors that don't fall in line as troublemakers. This needs to be worked on so that you can get the content customers want.
