There are many reasons why someone may not want to update and lose 2014GameDev.

There were certain subtle differences between 2014 and P11 Firefly due to the shoehorning required to make most parts of the material room usable with both Firefly and Superfly.

It does all you need it to do and you don't need Superfly.

PoserFusion is apparently being discontinued going forward. It maybe that's your pipeline.

They may only have a 32bit pc, P11.2 requires a 64bit pc, that's quite a biggie.

Even WardrobeWizard. I believe it's no longer in P11.2. I personally prefer it to the fitting room.

So it's not necessarily as clear cut to update/upgrade as you may think it is.

Here's the thing. Most, if not all of Game Devs special features are already included in Poser Pro 11.2 such as: Figure – Combine Figures… Figure – Find Unseen Polygons… Figure – Remove Unseen Polygons… Window – Add-Ons – Kinect Capture (Windows only) File – Import – FBX File – Export – FBX

Those features are even described in the Poser Reference Manual. Now, as I'm about destitute myself, I understand not being able to upgrade your computer to 64 bit, but as I've discovered recently, if you install and Poser runs, no problem, it won't run if it's 32 bit only so you can always uninstall.

As to the subtle differences between Game Dev's Firefly and Poser Pro 11's Firefly, can you name them?
