One major problem I would have with Poser going the subscription model route would be their development schedule. Plus, they're extremely dependent on OS development. So, if I go to the subscription model not only would I have to pay to upgrade Poser, but also my hardware. I'd practically be obligated. It's already hard to upgrade if you're on a fixed income at my age. For a hobbyist like myself, that would pretty much spell the end. I already switched to the PC from the Mac because I couldn't afford t upgrade my Mac hardware. Apple's expensive and I've been using it since I started in computers. I just reached a saturation point. Now Windows is threatening me about moving on.
