The "free" stuff that comes with Poser has no relevance on weather or not a vendor is capable of producing an asset that would make enough money to justify purchase of the software. Nor do brokerage fees in and of themselves. Any asset marketed through this site, irregardless of it's intended use; is subject to brokerage fees. Rendo is not the only store selling Poser assets; though I will admit to it's being the largest.

Use this same argument that you are pushing here with Reallusion and their 30 day watermarked limited use flagship, iClone. What about the limited use and purposely mangled output that you get with e-on's 30 day trial of Vue and Plant Factory. Pixologic offers a trial of zBrush with no restrictions on output; but wait; you need to be constantly connected to their site to use it. Pretty much any product with a free trial version carries restrictions.

Poser is free to trial with no restriction of features or output and does not need to be constantly attached to the internet during the trial use. You seem to feel that a vendor can only manufacture a single product of usefulness in the trial period. That limitation is the vendors own as is the statement that Rendo is the only place a person can move a Poser asset. You only give up a cut of your margin to the store here if you only sell your assets here. DAZ isn't getting a cut of Studio assets sold here nor Reallusion of iClone assets. You pay brokerage fees where you use a broker. The amount paid is between the vendor and the broker. Get good enough and the broker comes to you.
