I believe that a huge damage already has been done, my guess is that allot of people search when confronted with such a situation like the actual call home feature and taking down the 11.1 versions for alternative way's and they find it quick in Google . the search will not only answer there request and give them a solution it will lead them to places where they will get most of Poser content for free !!!

Renderosity will not get a damage as they earn for each and every sale a 50% it works cumulative , the artist has the whole work from creating publishing etc and will get the other half for all hes work unique ( Not cumulative ) he will be the looser and believe me None will give a darn about it ! there are almost no new product that are skipped.

For most Customers Poser is a luxury they have barely the possibility to afford it once in a while they will make them selves a little present to keep smiling ... get the feeling to also be an artist. believe me I have allot of such persons on my site and I help where I can to make em happy without ripping em off !

But this system here is a ripp off! more and more trying to get every dime out of the creators and the customer's Pocket. trying to get control of them but the result will rather be a Bumerang then a Profitable strategy.

My thoughts : all my new creations depend on the mood of Renderosity even my Site! will they support Poser, will they shut it down, will I have to Pay every month to have all my work of the last decade still working , Believe me I am not at all willing to do so !

where do you think that the fiances come from for Poser they come from these 50% taken from creators and now it es also abused with a call home to control the feeding hands as a great thank you ( Well sorry Smith micro did it ) do you really believe this ?

you little Creator will not even earn enough to Pay your Bills while they laugh at you driving there high end cars and living in a Palace. If you ask them a simple question tell them your worries they will ignore you, If they answer it will be like spitting in your face as they do not care, they care only about increasing there Income and prosperity.
