Poser has always been made more valuable when content creators like DAZ offered their content to go with Poser. DAZ moved to Genesis, and stopped offering "Poser content." No other content provider has filled the void.

And???

Poser doesn't need to "become" DAZ Studio.

No one is saying it has to. [EDIT] Well, I certainly haven't, at least.

But we do need some fantastic Poser-native content.

And you achieve that by giving people a reason to want to create content for your platform. What you actually see if your go into Renderosity's own store, however, is creators shifting away from Poser content creation in favor of DAZ Studio content creation. I have no great love for the crew running DAZ 3D these days (altho' the sales support folks are pretty awesome -- never had a sales issue they couldn't fix for me), but the company is stable and the platform is adding users and growing in capability. Poser has had, what -- six owners in 20 years? That kind of volatility is not encouraging.

Linux fans should just accept the fact that there won't be any Linux versions of Poser

Never say never.
