What experienced users are not getting is that the very unwelcoming limitations of the content install system presents a real threat to their own often quite extensive investments in Poser content. It's the experienced users who are most at risk from this limitation of Poser.

If new users don't like the content install system, they can just grumble and walk away. If enough of them walk away, Rendo won't be able to make serious money selling Poser software and Poser content. And should be the case then, like has already happened a number of times, Poser may be sold yet again.

Your entire content library which you've invested so much money in could vanish in an instant along with Poser software if whoever owns Poser decides to pull the plug on the license checking server.

That's unlikely to happen so long as whoever owns Poser is making money. And that depends to a significant degree on them being able to successfully engage new users in buying Poser and Poser content.

Dear experienced users. You're the one who has invested a lot of money in Poser content. You're the one at risk here. Do you really want to bet your Poser library on your ability and willingness to teach frustrated new comers the broken install system, one by one by one for years?

Your intentions are good, but your strategy is not.
