That's true Richard, but the major problem was that not everything worked the same way in both programs and not all used both programs that made the content, we need to do both versions in the beginning but then the system changes and we don't have to anymore, however doing Poser version of products was never forbidden and is more than welcome . They really don't care if that is for Poser or Unity anymore as long the products sell well that is all what matter , ( sell only at DAZ store ) if PA want to support both platforms it is all fine , just not selling it in other stores as the tools we have in DS are exclusive, and regular users don't have access to it, that's the deal ..

From what I remember aside from the DUF files themselves, the published artists themselves, besides a few that believe in an equal market, complained because their work was doubled for the same price. I know from experience that creating for both platforms is NOT easy. From an end user experience you just expect things to work but behind the scenes getting things to behave equally, esp if it's clothing or accessories or hair, is like walking through a mine field of issues and aggravation.

I did recently purchase a couple of new items from the DAZ store that are fully supported in both DAZ Studio and Poser, called the Lapis Pyramid Tomb and Lapis Pyramid by David Brinnen and ForbiddenWhispers! Nice sets!
