And your source for this information is where? Whom? Exactly. You're just mouthing off (still) about things you really don't know for a fact. The issue is not just figures. DAZ has a tremendous library of props, environments, and various other things such as clothing that are routinely used by Poser-ites. I'm one of them. I'm not alone. Are we still a target demographic of DAZ? Possibly. DAZ wants Poser to die so they can dominate, and I gather that based on the behavior of the two rivals over the last ten years - and I'm pretty sure we can all agree on this. My original point was that by rendering the DSON importer useless, Bondware is utterly helping DAZ defeat them. The loss of DSON makes Poser less compatible. Less compatible. Does it pick up options with Py3? Undoubtedly, but does anyone really have any scripts using Py3 yet? I don't. Do you? So eventually there will be something I'm sure - but right now, the switch from 2 to 3 has made Poser 12 far less compatible than 11 was. That is a fact. You cannot argue that. Bondware knows this too or they wouldn't have approached DAZ to talk about updating DSON. I have an email from DAZ support stating this happened recently. So based on that I can prove that my point is valid and Bondware (though they won't admit it) knows the loss of DSON has been detrimental -- so much so that they've approached their rivals to try and find a fix.

Please feel free to point out any inaccuracy in what I've just said. Meanwhile your entire post (reply) was based in pure speculation and opinion.

@JAG

For anyone upgrading to poser 12 DSON is Dead....sorry?

Bondware has moved to python 3 to make poser 12 compatible with the rest of the industry knowing full well it breaks the old DSON plugin.

The only people that actually cared about it were those poser users wanting to use genesis models in Poser.

Those people are no longer party of Daz's target Demographic going forward?

Daz is trying to sell Genesis figure content to Autodesk, Maxon and game engine users (hence their export plugins)

This is the reality of things
