Poser tried to sell content, when they were owned by E-Frontier. That was when we got Winter Queen Jessie, and Content Paradise, and the Content Paradise tab in Poser. They just weren't very successful.

Not sure what the problem was, exactly. Maybe they didn't "get" the Western market, being a Japanese company. They had some good ideas. I really liked Miki, though she had her issues. And I liked the idea of black, Asian, and Caucasian figures that could share clothing, etc. (I still see them used in corporate-type animations.) Maybe they just couldn't compete with...um, other, better established stores.

There were a couple of reasons why CP was under utilized:

1. There was little to no QA. Product quality was very hit or miss.

2. They went against the standard of allowing unlimited downloads of purchased products unless you paid a fee.

Those 2 things, more than any, were what made CP a less than desirable content store.

Also, I'm not sure what their return policy was - never bothered to try on the few products I purchased there and found lacking.
