With a kill switch policy, people new to the modeling environment will probably look at it the way I would. Why would I ever want to buy specialized models from a company that pretty much only work on that company's software and then have not only to pay for software when there was another company giving away a similar version free, but also to repeatedly have to ask for permission to use it or it will cut out. That business case just seems so obviously stupid.

And the thing is, while Rendo can track users of their software, they will probably never know how many users they lost because the user just decided not to purchase Poser in the first place.

If we were starting at time zero, I wouldn't choose Poser. But I'm really rooting for it to succeed.
